In the gripping sixth installment of James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series, Detective Lindsay Boxer faces her most harrowing case yet. The tranquility of a San Francisco morning is shattered when a lone gunman opens fire aboard a crowded ferry, leaving a trail of death and chaos. Among the critically wounded is Lindsay's close friend and colleague, Claire Washburn, igniting a fierce personal resolve in Lindsay to bring the perpetrator to justice. As the investigation twists through the city's underbelly and the courtroom, a new and chilling wave of crime emerges: a series of child abductions with no ransom demands, leaving the police baffled and the city gripped by fear. Lindsay and her Women's Murder Club allies—Claire (recovering), Cindy Thomas, and Yuki Castellano—must race against time to connect the seemingly disparate events. With each passing moment, the fate of the missing children hangs precariously, and Lindsay realizes the kidnapper's true, horrifying agenda might be far more sinister than anyone imagined, pushing her to her limits to decipher the clues before it's too late.
