About This Audiobook

Children are being taken from the streets of San Francisco along with their nannies, and there is no ransom demand, which means the motive is something far more disturbing than money. While Detective Lindsay Boxer pursues the kidnapping case, one of the Women's Murder Club is fighting for her life after a violent attack, and the pressure on every member of the group reaches a breaking point. Book six of Patterson and Paetro's series raises both the investigative and personal stakes simultaneously.

Carolyn McCormick holds the multiple narrative threads with practiced control, her performance conveying the exhaustion and urgency of investigators working against a clock they can't quite read. The interweaving of the kidnapping case and the attack on a club member creates a structural intensity that sustains momentum across the book's eight hours. This is a series that benefits enormously from a consistent narrator across entries, and McCormick's continuity pays dividends here.
