In 1970 Seattle, three educated young women of breeding, means and prospects commit suicide within four months of each other. Coincidence? Maybe not. They have perished amid a society in turmoil. The old rules don't seem to apply anymore. The pursuit of wealth and power has been replaced by a search for equality and justice. The idealism of World War II has given way to the cynicism of Vietnam. The advent of the Pill has changed the sexual equation. The availability of illegal narcotics has changed everything else. Follow SPD Detective Pete Genarro as he tries to unravel the mystery of their demise. Take a ride on the Swift Passage, an ancient Navy barge now home to Seattle's drug and hippie culture. Hang out at the Black Bird and at the End of the Road, where plots are hatched and clues are hidden. And watch, from the edge of your chair, as Genarro closes in on Choirboy -- kingpin of the Seattle narcotics trade.
