A quiet afternoon in San Francisco turns nightmarish for Detective Lindsey Boxer and Assistant District Attorney Jill Bernhardt when a townhouse explodes in flames inches away from them. When a
sinister note signed “August Spies” is found at the scene of the disaster, and the body of an infant who was asleep in the house at the time of the explosion cannot be found, events take a decidedly
sinister turn. Soon a wave of escalating violence engulfs the city, all with links to political terrorism and involving “August Spies.” The tension reaches boiling point when the horrifying
realization dawns that an upcoming economic summit of the world’s most powerful nations will be the next target. It’s up to the Women’s Murder Club to get to the bottom of the violence before it's
too late …
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“[Feels] like high-concept TV with a smart edge, featuring an appealing and reliable cast…There’s a calculated feel to all that happens, but clever manipulation of an audience serves Patterson as well as it served Hitchcock: his fans will only clamor for more.” —Publishers Weekly
“McCormick portrays the detective as both detached investigator and sensitive woman, those qualities fighting for dominance in each area of her life. Other characters also receive careful attention, with a light touch of regional accent here and there to polish their personalities. Occasional muted sound effects and musical interludes enhance the performance.” —AudioFile
“Patterson and Gross follow their formula: create a violent story filled with the issues that plague today’s world.” —Library Journal
