The twenty-sixth thrilling novel in the globally bestselling Women's Murder Club series. ______________________________________________________ Beautiful young women are disappearing by the dozen. A celebration is cut short when a concerned father crashes Detective Inspector Lindsay Boxer’s party. His daughter is missing – and she’s not the only one. DI Lindsay Boxer has been tracking a chilling pattern: a Jane Doe washed ashore, a body in Golden Gate Park, a string of missing women across San Francisco. Someone is hunting the city’s most vulnerable, and the count keeps rising. When Lindsay reaches out to Interpol, their warning is stark: these cases are nearly impossible to solve, and the women are almost never found alive. But 'impossible' has never stopped the Women’s Murder Club before. ______________________________________________________ PRAISE FOR THE WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB 'Packed with action... a compelling read with great set pieces and, most of all, that charismatic cast of characters' SUN 'I couldn't turn the pages quick enough. Great plot, fantastic storytelling and characters that spring off the page - all the right ingredients for a thriller!' HEIDI PERKS 'Fast-moving, intricately plotted... Boxer steals the show as the tough cop with a good heart.' MIRROR 'Terrific, high-octane, really pacy... every scene is a film, every character real, and every plot point leaves us breathless.'
