Book description
The 2nd novel in James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series.
When a little girl is shot on the steps of a San Francisco church,
Detective Lindsay Boxer reconvenes the Women's Murder Club. Working with
reporter Cindy Thomas, assistant DA Jill Bernhardt, and medical examiner
Claire Washburn, Lindsay tracks a mystifying killer who quickly turns
his pursuers into victims. The unorthodox allegiances of the Women's
Murder Club lead them to suspect the unexpected - the killer may be an
ex-cop. But nothing prepares them for the demented logic behind his
choice of victims. Ticks like a time bomb - full of threat and terror'
