The first six books in the bestselling series that "ticks like a time bomb ---**full of threat and terror" (Los Angeles Times),now together in one collectible box.
"The Women's Murder Club is, I think, very distinctive because it's four women in different fields: a police detective, a medical examiner, a newspaper writer, and an assistant district attorney, who are all best friends. Women are more collaborative than men."---James Patterson on the Women's Murder Club series
In San Francisco, four women with tough jobs come together to solve crimes:
1st to Die
The "bride-and-groom killer" takes wedding bands as souvenirs.
2nd Chance
A killer with a mystical name proves that he's a true monster when he stages a shootout on the steps of the Hall of Justice.
3rd Degree
The "August Spies" terrorist campaign to commit a murder every three days hits close to home.
4th of July
A Boxer family homecoming in idyllic Half Moon Bay is disrupted by a murder spree.
The 5th Horseman
The "Night Walker" marks patients in San Francisco Municipal Hospital as investigators chase "Car Girls" thrill-killings.
The 6th Target
The Chronicle's associate publisher's five-year-old daughter is kidnapped in a pattern of child abductions.
"Everyone knows a good Murder Club needs strong engaging women, lots of supportive sharing, several bottles of pinot grigio, and a really insane, unstoppable, gruesome serial killer." ---Entertainment Weekly
