A brokerage firm is robbed of a million dollars worth in securities, and Hawk is sure an employee of the firm knows more than she is telling.

An informant insists that he is being targeted for murder, and Hawk starts to believe him, but he can't get others on the force to take the man's claim seriously.

Ulysses Frost, an old friend of Hawk, calls him and begs to meet him because his life is in danger. Hawk tells him to meet him at his apartment, but the killers follow Frost there and kill him.

What's more, Frost's sister, whom Hawk also knew well before, doesn't want to cooperate.

An autistic teenage girl is the only witness to the murder of a cop. The killer knows that she saw him, but does not know that she is unable to speak and thus cannot identify him.
