After losing one of its own, Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club
make a courageous return for their fourth and most chilling case
ever--one that could easily be their last. A young girl is killed in
crossfire after a routine arrest goes terribly wrong, and Lt. Lindsay
Boxer has to defend herself against a charge of police brutality. In a
landmark trial that transfixes the nation, Lindsay fights to save her
career and her sanity. While awaiting trial, Lindsay escapes to the
beautiful town of Half Moon Bay, but the peaceful community there is
reeling from a string of unspeakable murders. Working with her friends
in the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay finds a link between these killings
and a case she worked on years before--an unsolved murder that has
haunted her ever since. As summer comes into full swing, Lindsay battles
for her life on two fronts: before a judge and jury as her trial comes
to a climax, and facing unknown adversaries who will do anything to keep
her from the truth about the killings--including killing again. It all
comes to a head before the big annual 4th of July celebration on the
waterfront at Half Moon Bay. Patterson fine-tunes the tension like
never before in this heart-racing new novel in the bestselling detective
series to debut in years.
