Sinopsis

When beautiful Lisa Franklin is found brutally murdered, her body dumped like so much rubbish, Lt. Hastings sighs and wonders aloud at the terrible waste. The victim was young, from a wealthy and respected family, with seemingly everything to live for. Hastings chalks it up with all the other senseless murders he sees in the course of a month, a year, a lifetime, of policing. As he investigates, though, it soon becomes clear that Franklin was far from just another innocent victim - but was she really a vengeful blackmailer? And is the murderer one of her own high-powered lovers from whom Franklin may have been extorting money? Or is it one of her reckless and feckless housemates, high on the drugs they all shared and fueled by jealousy over her many lovers?
Lisa Franklin's wild life provides too few clues and too many suspects. Her journals, however, containing fragments of poetry and ruminations, hint at a fragile brilliance behind the brittle facade and draw Hastings to her posthumously.
