9th Judgment

About the book

A young mother and her infant child are brutally shot while returning to their car in the parking garage of a shopping mall. With no witnesses, Detective Lindsay Boxer is left with only one clue: a mysterious message written in blood-red lipstick on the windshield.

On the same night, the wife of famous actor Marcus Dowling interrupts a burglar attempting to steal millions of dollars worth of jewels. Within moments, there's an empty safe, a dead body, and another puzzling case that throws San Francisco into chaos.

Lindsay works tirelessly with her partner Rich, but her growing attraction to him puts strain on both her marriage and the Women's Murder Club. Before they can solve either case, a killer forces Lindsay to risk her own life—is it enough to save the city? With thrilling danger and action-packed scenes, James Patterson's The 9th Judgment is a gripping must-read!
