Plot summary
On a case in San Francisco, Los Angeles police detective Lieutenant Bill Doyle meets Kathy Ferguson, an advice columnist whose help with the investigation earns her a front-page story and a job offer in New York. She turns the offer down and marries Bill instead, giving up her career to move with him to Los Angeles. There, the role of suburban homemaker leaves her restless. Bill works to afford a comfortable life and sees no reason to chase promotion; Kathy wants him to make a name for himself. Without telling her husband, she begins maneuvering to advance his career, beginning with Inspector Tony Pope, the head of Bill's division.
