La vedova nera (1987)
Alexandra Barnes è una giovane agente federale che durante un'indagine collega dati e coincidenze sconcertanti relativi ad un ignoto pluriomicida - in realtà una donna - che avrebbe ucciso tre uomini molto ricchi per intascare la ricca eredità e sparire. Alexandra, ottenuta dal suo capo l'autorizzazione, avendo ormai in mano qualcosa di concreto, sbarca alle Hawaii in cerca della misteriosa donna e finisce con il conoscere e sospettare una certa Catharine. Divenute amiche, le due donne passano insieme giorni in apparenza spensierati, mentre Alexandra attende la prova sicura. Catharine intanto si è innamorata ancora una volta. Si tratta di Paul Nuytten, un uomo d'affari locale e play-boy a tempo perso e la criminale comincia a porre in atto anche con lui la tattica consueta: lo affascina, ne studia le abitudini e intanto prepara il veleno che metterà in una bottiglia di liquore, affinché Paul ne beva durante la sua assenza, in modo da non essere implicata.
