9TH JUDGEMENT

A psychopathic killer targets San Francisco's women and children - they will be the first to die. A young mother and her infant child are ruthlessly gunned down while returning to their car in the garage of a shopping mall. With no witnesses, Detective Lindsay Boxer is left with only one shred of evidence - a cryptic message scrawled across the windscreen in blood-red lipstick. That same night the wife of an A-list actor Marcus Dowling walks in on a cat burglar who is about to steal millions of dollars' worth of precious jewels. In just seconds there is an empty safe, a lifeless body, and another mystery that throws San Francisco into hysteria. Before Lindsay and the Women's Murder Club can piece together either case, one of the killer's forces Lindsay to put her own life on the line. Action-packed with a charismatic cast of characters, the book finishes with a strange shock ending, putting in place several threads for the 10th WMC novel and we have it in stock, code 90695. 455pp, paperback.
