The 24th Hour is the thrilling new instalment in the globally bestselling Women's Murder Club series.

Trouble is never far away . . .

The Women's Murder Club is out celebrating an engagement at San Francisco's finest restaurant when a blood-curdling scream interrupts the festivities. They soon discover a young woman who has been the victim of a violent assault. Sergeant Lindsay Boxer makes an arrest, while Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano takes the case.

But assigning blame is made impossible due to the victim's chaotic version of events — and the shocking reason behind her ever-changing memory.

As Yuki argues the toughest case of her career, Lindsay must chase down a high-society killer whose target practice may leave the Women's Murder Club short a bridesmaid . . . or two.

Praise for the Women's Murder Club:

'Packed with action... a compelling read with great set pieces and, most of all, that charismatic cast of characters' — Sun

'I couldn't turn the pages quick enough. Great plot, fantastic storytelling and characters that spring off the page - all the right ingredients for a thriller!' — Heidi Perks

'Fast-moving, intricately plotted... Boxer steals the show as the tough cop with a good heart.' — Mirror

'Terrific, high-octane, really pacy... every scene is a film, every character real, and every plot point leaves us breathless.' — Jo Spain
