Complete story — includes the ending

Ballard and Gharty investigate the death of a young single woman who was found shocked with a stun gun and strangled with her own pantyhose. A second such victim is soon found, leading the pair to a husband and wife who accuse each other of not just these two murders, but three more in other cities. A spate of anonymous tips on the Mahoney-related cases allows the detectives to close all of them. Falsone realizes that the information in those tips had to have come from Lewis, who learns from Gee that Barnfather is trying to get him transferred out of homicide and CID.
