10th Anniversary - Women's Murder Club #10 (James Patterson & Maxine Paetro)


10th Anniversary - Women's Murder Club #10
James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

Blurb: Detective Lindsay Boxer finally gets married. But two violent crimes push the Women's Murder Club back to full throttle before the wedding gifts are even unwrapped.

For every secret.
Detective Lindsay Boxer's long-awaited wedding celebration becomes a distant memory when she is called to investigate a horrendous attack: A teenage girl is badly injured and left for dead, and her newborn baby is missing. Lindsay discovers that there is no trace of the criminals - and the victim may be keeping secrets as well.

For every lie.
Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the biggest case of her life: A woman stands accused of murdering her husband in front of her two young children. Yuki's career rests on a guilty verdict. But when Lindsay finds evidence that could save the defendant, Yuki must choose between trusting her best friend - or following her instinct.

There's a different way to die.
With her every move watched by her new boss and the pressure to find the baby interfering with her new marriage to Joe, Lindsay wonders if she'll ever be able to start a family...or solve her two cases. With James Patterson's white-hot speed and unquenchable action, 10th Anniversary is the most deliciously chilling Women's Murder Club book ever.

Private (James Patterson with Maxine Paetro)

Private
James Patterson with Maxine Paetro

Blurb: The police can't help you, the press will destroy you. Only one place to turn: Private.

Former US Marine Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe. It is where you go when you need maximum force and maximum discretion. The secrets of the most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily - and his staff of investigators use the world's most advanced forensic tools to make and break their cases.

In L.A., Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multimillion-dollar NFL gambling scandal and the unsolved slayings of eighteen schoolgirls, when he learns of a horrific murder close to home: his best friend's wife, Jack's former lover, has been killed. It nearly pushes him over the edge. Instead, Jack pushes back and devotes all of Private's resources to tracking down her killer.

But Jack doesn't have to play by the rules. As he closes in on the killer and chooses between revenge and justice, Morgan has to navigate a workplace love affair that threatens to blow the roof off his plans.

With a plot that moves at death-defying speeds, Private is James Patterson's sleekest, most exciting thriller ever.
