| | | As San Francisco Medical Center comes under scrutiny for unexplainable patient deaths, Lt. Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club investigate for themselves, in Patterson and Paetro's latest #1 "New York Times" bestseller, now available in a tall Premium Edition.
Annotation:
As the fifth installment in the bestselling thriller series the Women's Murder Club opens, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer and the Club's new member, Yuki Castellano, watch in horror as Yuki's mother Keiko crumples to the pavement on their way to lunch. Meanwhile, a San Francisco hospital worker calling himself Night Walker, obsessed with witnessing people's deaths, quietly murders a series of patients expected to recover. Since no one can determine the victims' cause of death, it seems at first like a terrifying chain of coincidences. The Women's Murder Club investigates, stymied by the hospital's desperation to keep the matter quiet, and spurred on by their fear that Keiko could be next to fall prey to the mysterious "epidemic."
| Author Bio| James Patterson | | James Patterson grew up in Newburgh, New York, 50 miles north of New York City. Valedictorian of his class at the Christian Brothers school, St. Patrick's, in 1965, Patterson graduated from Manhattan College with a degree in English. He first entertained the idea of becoming a writer in 1971 when he worked as a college student in a mental institution, a job that afforded him abundant time to read. He came up with the idea for his first novel during that time, and five years later, after 26 rejection slips, his first effort, "The Thomas Berryman Number", appeared in bookstores. Since that time, Patterson has written numerous best-selling thrillers featuring the sensitive, modern-day hero Alex Cross, including "Kiss the Girls", which was made into a major motion picture starring Morgan Freeman. |
