About the book
As the sole female homicide inspector in San Francisco, Lindsay Boxer must be strong. However, she is caught off guard by the honeymoon murders. A vicious killer starts a spree, targeting newlywed pairs, and Lindsay is assigned to the investigation. The killings repulse her, yet her resolve to catch the culprit is tested by a personal loss. Turning to Claire, a coroner, Cindy, a reporter, and Jill, a lawyer, for support in both matters, the Women's Murder Club is established.
