When Fred Brinkley opens fire on the top deck of a ferry,
three people are killed and two seriously injured. One of
the victims fighting for her life is Claire Washburn, chief
medical examiner of San Francisco and member of the Women's
Murder Club. SFPD Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer promises Claire,
one of her best friends, that the madman will be caught and
brought to justice. But the investigation takes an unusual
turn when Brinkley shows up at Lindsay's home and turns
himself in. It now falls on Assistant District Attorney
Yuki Castellano, a third member of the Women's Murder Club,
to prosecute the unstable murderer; and it will be the
toughest trial she's ever handled. Newspaper reporter Cindy
Thomas makes up the rest of the club and supports her best
friends every way possible in this case.
While all this is going on, a different type of crime spree
is terrifying the city. Children of wealthy families, along
with their nannies, are being kidnapped, but a ransom is
never demanded -- and the children are never found. Pressure
mounts as Lindsay and her new partner uncover some puzzling
clues. Added to the emotional atmosphere is Lindsay's
change in rank and job description, as well as her
uncertain relationship with her long-distance lover.
Just when both cases seem to be solved and under control,
things take an awful turn for the worse -- a madman is
released and everyone is in danger again. What can the
Women's Murder Club do now?
It's another winner for the collaboration of James
Patterson & Maxine Paetro. This series gets better with
each new story about this close-knit group of four women,
who stand up and fight with all they have for equality and
justice. I can't wait to see what's next for the Women's
Murder Club!
When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of
the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others
fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is
hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San
Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series
of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are
being plucked off the streets together with their nannies--
but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid
uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the
possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation,
and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on
the brink of death.
And just when everything appears momentarily under control,
the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in
lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed
she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more
than a prayer of success.
