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.

Postcard Killers

James Patterson & Liza Marklund

Blurb: NYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren't what draw him - he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each cafe through the eyes of his daughter's killer.

Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her fiance were murdered while on holiday in Rome. Since then, young couples in Madrid, Salzburg, Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens and Paris have been found dead. Little connects the murders, other than a postcard sent to the local newspaper prior to each attack.

Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm - and they think they know where the next victims will be.

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.

Middle School - The Worst Years of My Life (James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts)

Middle School - The Worst Years of My Life

James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts

Blurb: This is the totally insane story of how I, Rafe Khatchadorian,

-fought and overcame a diabolical teacher called Dragon Lady,

-sold my soul to the school bully, a dollar at a time,

-wrestled with a real live bear; repeatedly,

-fell kind of in 'like' with the most popular girl in school,

-went into the soda business and went bust,

-and accidentally-on-purpose hurt all the people I care about.

The worst days of my life were good sometimes.

Bad sometimes.

But mostly they were hilarious.

See for yourself.

2nd Chance (Women's Murder Club #2) (James Patterson and Andrew Gross)

2nd Chance (Women's Murder Club #2)

James Patterson and Andrew Gross

Blurb: A CRAZED GUNMAN

I moved closer and knelt over the body. Tasha's blouse was soaked with blood, mixed with falling rain. Just a few feet away, a rainbow-hued knapsack still lay on the grass. Bullet holes were everywhere, splintered glass and wood. Dozens of kids had been streaming out onto the street... All those shots, and only one victim.

THE WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB IS BACK

The tragic end of the honeymoon murder case left Lindsay Boxer, San Francisco's only woman homicide detective, unsure if she could ever return to work. But when a little girl is shot outside a San Francisco church, she knows it's time to reconvene the Women's Murder Club.

Working with reporter Cindy Thomas, Assistant DA Jill Bernhardt, and medical examiner Claire Washburn, Lindsay starts to track a mystifying killer who quickly turns his pursuers into his victims.
