Overview:
4th of July is the explosive fourth instalment in James Patterson's phenomenally bestselling Women's Murder Club series, co-written with Maxine Paetro. When Detective Lindsay Boxer fires her weapon in a split-second act of self-defence, the fallout threatens to destroy everything she has built. Facing a career-ending trial and a city torn apart by controversy, Lindsay retreats to the coastal calm of Half Moon Bay, only to find herself pulled into a chilling new murder investigation. Fast, twisty, and emotionally charged, this is vintage Patterson storytelling for crime and thriller fans everywhere.

About the Book:
In 4th of July, Detective Lindsay Boxer's world is turned upside down after she makes a split-second decision to fire her weapon in self-defence during a tense late-night confrontation. What follows is a firestorm: a disgraced police force, a divided city, and a high-profile trial that puts her entire career, and her freedom, on the line. As the media circus intensifies and relationships fracture under the strain, Lindsay retreats to the quiet seaside community of Half Moon Bay to rebuild her life away from the spotlight. But peace proves elusive. A series of brutal, seemingly motiveless murders begins to terrorise the small town, and Lindsay cannot walk away from her instincts as a detective. With no clear suspects and a haunting echo of an unsolved case from her past, she is drawn back into the hunt for the truth, even as her own future hangs in the balance. Told in Patterson's signature style of short, punchy chapters and relentless pacing, 4th of July balances courtroom tension with small-town mystery, weaving together themes of justice, loyalty, redemption, and the personal cost of a life in law enforcement. Fans of the series will recognise the sharp plotting and twisty reveals that have made it one of Patterson's most enduring franchises, while new readers will find it an accessible entry point into Lindsay Boxer's world.
