The 24th Hour - A Women's Murder Club Thriller by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro Hardcover

Book Synopsis

Murders are happening all over San Francisco, and the stress on the Women's Murder Club has never been higher. How can the Club survive?
​
SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano, and crime writer Cindy Thomas gather at one of San Francisco's finest restaurants to celebrate exciting news: Cindy is getting married.

Before they can raise their glasses, there's a disturbance in the restaurant. A woman has been assaulted.

Claire examines the victim. Lindsay makes an arrest. Yuki takes the case. Cindy covers it.

The legal strategy is complicated by gaps in the plaintiff's memory--and the shocking reason behind her ever-changing testimony.

As Yuki leads the prosecution, Lindsay chases down a high-society killer whose target practice may leave the Women's Murder Club short a bridesmaid ... or two.
