The Women's Murder Club series is the second most popular detective series of all time (James Patterson's Alex Cross series is No. 1)

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.

"'Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... There's no stopping his imagination.'" - New York Times Book Review
