In this thriller from a #1 New York Times bestselling author, SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer has guns on her mind and only twenty-two seconds until she loses her badge—or her life.

SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer has guns on her mind.

There’s buzz of a last-ditch shipment of drugs and weapons crossing the Mexican border ahead of new restrictive gun laws. Before Lindsay can act, her top informant tips her to a case that hits disturbingly close to home.

Former cops. Professional hits. All with the same warning scrawled on their bodies:

You talk, you die.

Now it’s Lindsay’s turn to choose.

These books never seem to disappoint. This one does have quite a bit of story lines going so really pay attention to them all. As always, one of my favorites from this series!

Never disappoints

Was a good story. But what was the kid killed by parents who didn’t treat her diabetes? It was like a no need to be included storyline. James Patterson knows how to write a story. I’m pretty surprised by the unsupported and unfinished story lines.

So what was the diabetic storyline for?

I just hope that these story lines aren't based on real people out there. The gore and violence are back. keep them coming.

Another great read!

January LaVoy is one of THE BEST narrators around!!! Her move from one character’s voice to the next is so smooth. I love Patterson’s books, and this series is one of my favorites. Being able to listen to them be told by such a talented person is the whole package!

Was not what I expected. I must have gotten lost in all the many stories and missed the Women’s Book Club meetings.

Not my favor.
