Synopsis
Two nursing students take an apartment in a Victorian house in San Francisco. One of these women gets into some steamy affairs with professional men and drugs. Sadly, she ends up dead. Poison was the cause of death, and it could have been an accident or murder. The poison comes from a mushroom called Amanita ocreata. Several suspects could have profited by her death. The big question is who knew about the poison and who also has a motive. The police finds the case complicated by the world of transvestites, gays, drugs, and another death.
