25 Alive

A body is found brutally murdered in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Homicide detective Lindsay Boxer knows her way around a crime scene. But nothing can prepare her for the shock of recognition: the victim is Warren Jacobi, Lindsay's former partner who rose to chief of police. A top detective until the end, Jacobi managed to leave Lindsay a clue. Following a trail of evidence along the west coast, the Women's Murder Club pledges to avenge Jacobi's death before the killer can take another one of their own. ______________________________________________________ PRAISE FOR THE WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB 'Packed with action... a compelling read with great set pieces and, most of all, that charismatic cast of characters' SUN 'I couldn't turn the pages quick enough. Great plot, fantastic storytelling and characters that spring off the page - all the right ingredients for a thriller!' HEIDI PERKS 'Fast-moving, intricately plotted... Boxer steals the show as the tough cop with a good heart.' MIRROR 'Terrific, high-octane, really pacy... every scene is a film, every character real, and every plot point leaves us breathless.'
