About the book
Patterson fine-tunes the tension like never before in this heart-racing new novel in the bestselling detective series to debut in years.
Following the loss of a team member, Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club return bravely for their fourth and most chilling case yet, which could potentially be their final one. A young girl is caught in the crossfire during a routine arrest gone awry, leading Lt. Lindsay Boxer to defend herself against allegations of police brutality. In a high-profile trial that captivates the nation, Lindsay fights to uphold her career and mental well-being.
While awaiting trial, Lindsay seeks refuge in the serene town of Half Moon Bay, only to discover that the community is shaken by a series of horrific murders. Collaborating with her Women's Murder Club comrades, Lindsay uncovers a connection between these recent killings and a cold case from her past that continues to haunt her. As summer heats up, Lindsay must confront dual threats: the legal battle unfolding in court, and mysterious adversaries determined to obstruct her pursuit of truth, even if it means committing further crimes.
The suspense builds up to a climax just before the town's annual 4th of July festivities on the waterfront at Half Moon Bay.
