22 Seconds - (A Women's Murder Club Thriller) by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer has guns on her mind and only twenty-two seconds until she loses her badge--or her life--in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson.

There's buzz of a last-ditch shipment of drugs and weapons crossing the Mexican border ahead of new restrictive gun laws. Before Lindsay can act, her top informant tips her to a case that hits disturbingly close to home.

Former cops. Professional hits. All with the same warning scrawled on their bodies:

You talk, you die.

Now it's Lindsay's turn to choose.
