About this ebook

Detective Lindsay Boxer is jogging along a beautiful San Francisco street as a ferocious blast rips through the neighbourhood. A townhouse owned by an internet magnate explodes into flames, three people die and a sinister note signed 'August Spies' is found at the scene. A wave of violence is sweeping through the city - and it seems that whoever is behind it is intent on killing someone every three days.

Even more terrifying, the four friends who call themselves the Women's Murder Club discover that the killer has targeted one of them. And Lindsay learns that a member of the club is hiding a secret so dangerous and unbelievable that it could destroy them all.

Ratings and reviews

I would agree with the other reviews in that it's not the best of the 3 so far but it's by no means disappointing. Surprised at losing 1 of the 3 so early in the series but can't wait to read the next one - downloading as I write! Another thrilling James Patterson that I just couldn't put down.

A true, true work of art.Thankyou again Mr.Patterson. You've got me through some tough times. And I mean real tough. My best to you.

lost a whole night of sleep because of not being able to put the book down.
