James Patterson

4th of July James Patterson

A young girl is killed after a routine arrest goes terribly wrong, and Lt. Lindsay Boxer has to defend herself against a charge of police brutality. In a landmark trial that transfixes the nation, Lindsay fights to save her career and her sanity.

While awaiting trial, Lindsay escapes to the beautiful town of Half Moon Bay, but the peaceful community is reeling from a string of unspeakable murders. Working with her friends in the Women s Murder Club, Lindsay finds a link between these killings and a case she worked on years before an unsolved murder that has haunted her ever since. As summer comes into full swing, Lindsay battles for her life on two fronts: before a judge as her trial comes to a climax, and facing unknown adversaries who will do anything to keep her from the truth about the killings.
