About the Book:
A young mother recovering in a top San Francisco hospital suddenly stops breathing, and help arrives too late. Investigating, Detective Lindsay Boxer discovers this is not an isolated tragedy but part of a pattern of patients who worsen and die just as they are due to be discharged. Teaming up with the Women's Murder Club — reporter Cindy Thomas, prosecutor Jill Bernhardt and medical examiner Claire Washburn — Lindsay must work out whether these deaths are hospital negligence or something far more sinister. As the body count rises, the women race against time, navigating red tape, cover-ups and a killer who may be hiding among those trusted to save lives. Patterson's short, punchy chapters combine with Paetro's skill for character and dialogue to create a story that moves at breakneck speed while finding room for real emotional stakes. Themes of trust, friendship and justice run throughout, and the mystery keeps readers guessing right up to the final pages.

It's a compelling read for anyone who enjoys crime fiction with heart as well as high stakes.
