When wealthy Jew Mank's casket is dropped during his funeral, a second body drops out: the body turns out to be the attending resident, Valerie Monroe. She was one of the many platonic 'best friends' of popular nurse Greg McClintock, who has an alibi. She also was paid $40,000 a month as private physician and companion of retired drug lord Cesar Calderon, whose younger brother Manuel left his care to her five nights a week. Justice official Leonard Maloney regularly met her, as undercover concerning hospital supply fraud. Several leads join at a women's prison, involving several, even new, crimes.
