San Francisco, 1963... At the urging of some famous friends - baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and madcap author Truman Capote among them - Philip Damon has returned to the glamorous city that still has a place in his dreams. It is here, in the shadow of the magnificent Grace Cathedral, on streets lined with clattering cable cars, that he courted the woman who would become his wife - and who was murdered a few years after their wedding.Now, still devastated by his wife's unsolved murder, Philip joins his orchestra for a charity gig at San Francisco's elegant Fairmont Hotel. And as they play the opening notes of "Just in Time," he sees a lovely blonde woman - a dead ringer for his late wife - dancing with Terrence Hamilton Collier III, heir to a vast real estate fortune. Then the room goes dark. The music stops. And someone screams...When the chandeliers flicker back on, Collier is dead - an ice pick thrust deep into his chest. And with the news all over the gossip pages, Philip will have to work fast to discover what happened when the lights went out that night in San Francisco. Because now there are two murders that have yet to be solved - and the only link between them is Philip himself.
