The 24th Hour

The 24th Hour by James Patterson is the electrifying new instalment in the globally bestselling Women's Murder Club series. This gripping novel promises a riveting blend of mystery, action, and emotional depth, making it an unmissable addition for fans and newcomers alike.

The Women's Murder Club's latest adventure begins with a joyous occasion that quickly turns into a nightmare. While celebrating an engagement at one of San Francisco's most prestigious restaurants, a blood-curdling scream pierces the festive atmosphere. The club's members, including Sergeant Lindsay Boxer and Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano, race to the scene and discover a young woman who has been violently assaulted.

Lindsay's intuition and experience lead to a swift arrest, but the case is far from straightforward. Yuki takes on the challenge of prosecuting the attacker, only to find herself entangled in a web of deception. The victim's chaotic and ever-changing account of the events makes it almost impossible to establish the truth, complicating Yuki’s efforts to bring justice.

As Yuki faces what could be the toughest courtroom battle of her career, Lindsay is on the hunt for a high-society killer who doesn’t hesitate to turn their twisted fantasies into reality. The stakes are raised even higher as this killer’s target practice threatens to leave the Women's Murder Club short a bridesmaid—or two. With the clock ticking and danger lurking at every corner, the club must rely on their unbreakable bond and sheer determination to unravel the mystery before more lives are lost.
