When three high-ranking city employees are killed in automobile accidents where they had been run off the road, Linc Evers and his staff investigate and discover that all had been killed shortly after announcing their opposition to developers plans. When Linc learns a manager had received a threatening letter, his staff looks at stunt drivers and driving school employees who would have the skill necessary to commit this type of vehicular homicide.
Dan Stoddard, the mayor of Los Angeles, California, has created a special unit, "The Most Wanted" unit, in the Police Department to capture the most wanted criminals. Captain Linc Evers heads the unit and with Sergeant Benson and Office Manners, sets out each week to capture a different criminal.
