Detective D. D. Warren is hard to surprise. But a lone
woman outside D.D.’s latest crime scene shocks her with a
remarkable proposition: Twenty-seven-year-old Charlene
Rosalind Carter Grant believes she will be murdered in
four days. And she wants Boston’s top detective to handle
the death investigation. It will be up close and personal.
No evidence of forced entry, no sign of struggle. Charlie
tells a chilling story: Each year at 8:00 p.m. on February
21, a woman has died.The victims have been childhood best
friends from a small town in New Hampshire; the motive
remains unknown. Now only the last friend remains to count
down her final hours.
But as D.D. quickly learns, Charlie Grant has been
preparing, and she doesn’t plan on going down without a
fight. As D.D. tracks a lone gunman who is killing
pedophiles in Boston, she must also delve into the murders
of Charlie’s friends, seeking the elusive insight into who
might be stalking and killing these childhood playmates,
in the hopes of preventing whatever might come this
February 21. Just how much can she trust Charlie Grant, a
woman who by her own admission can outshoot, outfight, and
outrun anyone in Boston? Is Charlie truly in danger, or is
she hiding a truth deep within her that may turn out to be
D.D.’s biggest surprise of all? In four days, someone is
going to kill me.
