About the Books
This collection gathers five entries from James Patterson's long-running Women's Murder Club series, co-written with Maxine Paetro and centered on SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer and her circle: reporter Cindy Thomas, medical examiner Claire Washburn, and prosecutor Yuki Castellano. In 20th Victim, synchronized murders across Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco push Lindsay into a tense cross-jurisdiction manhunt. 21st Birthday turns personal when a distraught mother begs Cindy Thomas for help finding her missing daughter and infant granddaughter. 22 Seconds raises the stakes as a gun-trafficking case threatens Lindsay's badge and her life. 23rd Midnight brings a copycat killer whose crimes echo Lindsay's past, testing her instincts. Rounding out the set, 23 1/2 Lies is a novella collection whose Women's Murder Club entry sends Lindsay into the execution-style murder of her estranged father. Throughout, readers get Patterson's hallmark clipped, cinematic chapters, a propulsive pace, and a found-family dynamic between four women navigating high-pressure careers, all grounded in a richly drawn San Francisco setting.
