James Patterson is “always on the mark” (Larry King, USA Today) with his unique ability to cross literary genres. In the fifth installment to the bestselling Women’s Murder Club series, Patterson proves once again that he knows “where our deepest fears are buried” (New York Times Book Review).
Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer has her hands full when she takes on the first big case since her promotion: Attractive blond women are being smothered, dressed in designer clothes, and left in public places for all to see. When the first victim is found dead posed in a Cadillac in the Opera Plaza Garage, Lindsay’s best friend, Claire Washburn, chief medical examiner at the San Francisco morgue, concludes that there are two killers at work: One of the perps sits on the victim’s chest while the other slips a plastic bag over her head and suffocates her. Explicit violence.
Meanwhile Yuki Castellano, the newest member of the Women’s Murder Club, is facing her own personal crisis. Yuki is devastated when her mother dies after being admitted to San Francisco Municipal Hospital for what should have been a simple procedure. When she learns that several patients with minor ailments have been given lethal doses of the wrong medicine, Yuki is convinced that the hospital is covering up multiple homicides—and turns to the Women’s Murder Club for help. Is someone playing God with people’s lives—or is this a case of bad medicine? Lindsay won’t rest until she finds out.
