Helen and Olga are kindly old ladies who open their hearts and wallets to down-and-out men in Los Angeles. In a city named for angels, the two women seem heaven-sent. After one of the men is killed by a hit-and-run driver -- and then another suffers the same fate -- investigators uncover a horrifying and twisted plot that stuns even the most seasoned detectives.

"I liked hearing the process and effort investigators put into this case. The outcome bugs me and I wonder if the jury got all the details we got. I keep wondering about Helen’s daughter and picture her in Fred’s house bought for a dollar. What about her? "
