A young girl is killed in crossfire after a routine arrest goes terribly wrong, and Lt. Lindsay Boxer has to defend herself against a charge of police brutality. In a landmark trial that transfixes the nation, Lindsay fights to save her career and her sanity. While awaiting trial, Lindsay escapes to the beautiful town of Half Moon Bay, but the peaceful community there is reeling from a string of unspeakable murders. Working with her friends in the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay finds a link between these killings and a case she worked on years before--an unsolved murder that has haunted her ever since. As summer comes into full swing, Lindsay battles for her life on two fronts: before a judge and jury as her trial comes to a climax, and facing unknown adversaries who will do anything to keep her from the truth about the killings--including killing again. It all comes to a head before the big annual 4th of July celebration on the waterfront at Half Moon Bay. 000306329 520__ $$aLieutenant Lindsay Boxer is involved in a shooting that causes her to be charged with police brutality. Relieved of duty while awaiting trial, Lindsay travels to Half Moon Bay, only to find this community experiencing a rash of murders. With Yuki Castellano fighting for Lindsay in the courtroom and the murders in Half Moon Bay escalating, the Women's Murder Club cranks into full form. Carolyn McCormick drives this fast-paced, high-powered novel right off the printed page into real experience. A whining, pleading injured teen driving with only a learner's permit is so skillfully presented that danger is ignored; a spinal-cord-injured witness whose sobs are interrupted by the sucking of ventilator-initiated breathing is believable even while demonstrating courtroom theatrics. 000306329 650_0 $$aPolicewomen$$vFiction. 000306329 650_0 $$aFemale friendship$$vFiction. 000306329 650_0 $$aSerial murders$$vFiction. 000306329 650_0 $$aPolice shootings$$vFiction. 000306329 650_0 $$aPolice$$zCalifornia$$vFiction. 000306329 650_0 $$aTrials (Police misconduct)$$vFiction. 000306329 650_0 $$aWomen detectives$$zCalifornia$$vFiction. 000306329 651_0 $$aHalf Moon Bay (Calif.)$$vFiction. 000306329 655_7 $$aDetective and mystery fiction.$$2lcgft 000306329 7001_ $$aPaetro, Maxine. 000306329 8001_ $$aPatterson, James,$$d1947-$$tWomen's murder club. 000306329 85280 $$bpopam$$hPatterson 000306329 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:306329$$pGLOBAL_SET 000306329 980__ $$aBIB 000306329 980__ $$aBOOK
