4th of July

by James Patterson

Part of Women's Murder Club, book 4

First published 2006

San Francisco police lieutenant Lindsay Boxer pulls the trigger during a late night confrontation. Her split second decision destroys a family and disgraces the entire police force. Now twelve jurors hold her fate in their hands. During a court recess, Lindsay escapes to a small town where brutal murders have shaken the community. These killings connect to an old case from her early days as a cop, one that was never solved. Lindsay calls on her partners in the Women's Murder Club for help. She battles enemies on two separate fronts. In the courtroom, prosecutors push toward a conviction that could end her career and freedom. Outside, a killer stalks new victims and will murder anyone who threatens to expose the truth. Lindsay must survive both battles or lose everything she has worked to build.
