In this #1 NYT bestseller, Sergeant Lindsay Boxer puts her life on the line to protect San Francisco from a shrewd and unpredictable killer. When a series of shootings exposes San Francisco to a mysterious killer, a reluctant woman decides to put her trust in Sergeant Lindsay Boxer. The confidential informant's tip leads Lindsay to a disturbing conclusion: something has gone horribly wrong inside the police department. The hunt for the killer lures Lindsay out of her jurisdiction and impacts her in dangerous ways. She suffers unsettling medical symptoms, and her friends in the Women's Murder Club warn her against taking the crimes to heart. But with lives at stake, the detective can't help but follow the case into terrifying terrain. A decorated officer, loving wife, devoted mother, and loyal friend, Lindsay has always acted with unwavering integrity. But now she is confronting a killer who is determined to undermine it all.
Patterson continues to hold my attention as I have read all 16 previous book of the WMC and all this year. Because of the various occupations of the lead characters, there is a varied amount of time spent in each of their domains. My least favorite, I suppose, is the time spent in the courtroom; my favorite is the investigation side where specific clues are discovered. Being a supposed writer of sorts, I can identify with the reporter who is usually prohibited from publishing most of what she discovers when meeting with the other 3 members of the Women's Murder Club. It is a pleasure to read a continuing series like this where you have been able to stay with the mostly same group of lead characters over a long period of time. Long before this book, you will have already developed an inside relationship with the characters & their strengths & weaknesses. Excellent book!
