Sacrifice — Clyde Phillips

When San Francisco's most beloved philanthropist is murdered in a downtown hotel, Jane Candiotti gets the high-profile case. That same night a homeless man is found stabbed to death at the docks -- a murder that also lands in Candiotti's hands.

The search for the killers takes Candiotti and her husband, detective Kenny Marks, into two disparate worlds. Soon an eerie intrigue settles over the cases as the detectives discover that the death of someone so privileged strangely intersects with the life of someone so disenfranchised.

As Candiotti struggles to control these two volatile investigations and battles with her superiors, her husband, and her own feelings, she suddenly finds herself fighting for the ultimate prize ... her life.
