About this eBook

When a lone gunman goes on a shooting spree aboard a packed San Francisco ferry, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer is called in to investigate. At the scene she finds three people dead and Claire Washburn fighting for her life. Lindsay promises to find whoever did this. But it's a promise she may not be able to keep.

As the investigation makes its way to court, news of a child abduction comes through. Lindsay discovers that more children have been taken. But with no ransom demands the abductions don't seem to make sense - unless the kidnappers aren't planning on returning their hostages...

The clock is ticking as Lindsay tries to fit all the pieces together. She knows that if she doesn't find the children quickly it will be too late...

Ratings and reviews

I usually love this series of books and other J.P books but this one was hard going. So many different plots and story lines going on it's a bit hit and miss and no follow up. Also lacked the suspense the others have had (though I'm usually pretty good at working out the whodunnit anyway this one is ridiculously obvious)

Each crime case seems a bit superficial, not enough depth but still a great read!

Very much enjoying this series of books. I like the suspence and love how you just sink into the book as if you were there in the book with Lindsay.
