Идеальное убийство возможно?

На роскошном приеме в Сан-Франциско убиты богатые супруги.

Но среди многочисленных гостей нет ни одного свидетеля!

А криминалисты не могут определить, что послужило орудием убийства.

Детектив Линдси Боксер начинает расследование и вскоре понимает: убийца только начал действовать.

Но кто следующий в его списке?

По какому принципу он выбирает жертвы?

И главное, как ему удается совершать преступления, не оставляя ни единой улики?

"Ночное чудовище".

Так прозвала полиция загадочного преступника, совершающего убийства в крупной клинике. Он закрывает глаза своих жертв латунными кружочками с изображением жезла Гермеса.

В чем смысл его странных «посланий»?

И главное, почему каждая из смертей выглядит как результат несчастного случая или обычной врачебной ошибки?

Линдси Боксер и ее подруги — лучшая команда по расследованию убийств со времен Шерлока Холмса и доктора Ватсона — начинают расследование и приходят к страшному выводу: все улики указывают на то, что маньяк — кто-то из персонала клиники.

Следующей жертвой может стать любой пациент…

Респектабельный курортный город захлестнула волна жестоких убийств. Их жертвы — состоятельные пары с детьми-подростками. Всех перед смертью подвергли пыткам, со всеми расправились одинаковым способом, но ни одну из жертв не ограбили.

Кто и почему совершил эти чудовищные преступления?

Линдси и ее подруги — лучшая команда по расследованию убийств со времен Шерлока Холмса и доктора Ватсона — начинают собственное расследование и приходят к неожиданному выводу, если не остановить преступников, то следующей жертвой может стать сама Линдси…

A young mother and her infant child are ruthlessly gunned down while returning to their car in the garage of a shopping mall. There are no witnesses, and Detective Lindsay Boxer is left with only one shred of evidence: a cryptic message scrawled across the windshield in blood red lipstick.

Lindsay spends every waking hour working with her partner Rich-and her desire for him threatens to tear apart both her marriage and the Women's Murder Club. Before Lindsay and her friends can piece together either case, one of the killers forces Lindsay to put her own life on the line-but is it enough to save the city? With unparalleled danger and explosive action, The 9th Judgment is James Patterson at his compelling, unstoppable best!

Экскурсионный паром стал местом кровавой бойни, которую учинил Фред Бринкли, внезапно открывший стрельбу по туристам. Четверо убиты. Клэр Уошберн — судмедэксперт и близкая подруга детектива Линдси Боксер — тяжело ранена.

Убийца добровольно сдался полиции, однако ловкий адвокат готов помочь ему уйти от ответственности…

Линдси, которой поручено вести дело Бринкли, и ее подруги — великолепная команда по расследованию убийств — убеждены: этому необходимо помешать любой ценой.

Ведь Бринкли смертельно опасен. И, выйдя на свободу, он будет убивать снова и снова…

At the same time, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the biggest case of her life - a woman who has been accused of murdering her husband in front of her two young children. Yuki's career rests on a guilty verdict, so when Lindsay finds evidence that could save the defendant, she is forced to choose. Should she trust her best friend or follow her instinct? 

Lindsay's every move is watched by her new boss, Lieutenant Jackson Brady, and when the pressure to find the baby starts interfering with her new marriage to Joe, she wonders if she'll ever be able to start a family of her own.

Locked in a deadly, high-stakes battle with forces determined to undermine her, Brigid must confront her enemies before she loses everything…including her life.

Так что же произошло с Майклом?

Прокурор Юки Кастеллано уверена: его убили. Но кто? Может быть, эксцентричный писатель, работающий над книгой о Майкле и упорно намекающий, что ему известно то, о чем не подозревает полиция?

Former Marine and CIA agent Jack Morgan inherits his father's renowned security and detective business-along with a case load that tests him to the breaking point. Getting to the bottom of an NFL gambling scandal and an unsolved LAPD investigation into 18 school girl slayings would be enough. On top of all that, Morgan takes on solving the horrific murder of his best friend's wife.

As Morgan fights the urge to exact brutal revenge on that killer, he has to navigate a workplace imbroglio that could blow the roof off his elite agency. And it's an especially explosive situation… because the love affair is his own.

When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies – but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death.

And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face – with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.

Two cases have pushed San Francisco detective Lindsay Boxer beyond her limits.
