Detective Lindsay Boxer chases an elusive, possibly very dangerous suspect...her husband, Joe.
Lindsay Boxer has a beautiful baby daughter and a husband she loves unconditionally. She'd always been too focused on her career as a San Francisco police detective to wonder what domestic bliss might feel like, but now she knows, and she's never been happier. She can't imagine that a brutal murder at a luxury hotel, and the disappearance of a gorgeous blond woman from the scene, could have anything to do with her own life and marriage--yet soon both are unraveling, and Lindsay can't ignore disturbing clues that hit very close to home.
Just as bombs are starting to go off in her personal life, an explosive tragedy rocks San Francisco, plunging the city into chaos. Pressed into duty to investigate a criminal plot that stretches around the globe, Lindsay again finds herself following signs that lead to her own front door. Thrown into a tailspin and fighting against powerful enemies trying to protect their operatives and conceal the truth at all costs, Lindsay turns to the Women's Murder Club for help as she desperately searches for the elusive, and deadly, blonde before she loses Joe for good.

Book Review:
Dear, James Patterson. You just ruined my favorite couple. If there isn't a 16th installment to this series, I might actually die! You need to have Lindsay and Joe come through this fucking massive road bump stronger, healthier, and better than ever because they were the one ship that I never thought would sink on me!!! Don't let it sink!!!
Now onto the review. I thought that the 14th installment in the Women's Murder Club series was the last one, until I was walking through Walmart with my best friend and happened to glance down their scant book selection, as you do, when I saw the big 15!!!!!! I about flipped, and yes, I spent the last $20 that I had on me, on this book. I flew through it and I am not okay!
Patterson, diverged from the normal crime-solving aspect of the series and entwined a bit more personal drama for Lindsay to deal with. He made her missing husband a suspect in multiple murders. With no way for Lindsay to get in touch with her husband, she continued to work the case, trying to have faith in her husband and raise their daughter as she did. It was so hard seeing her inner turmoil and the lack of confidence in her best friends. She held so much back from them, from the readers, and from herself. It was just an emotional roller coaster that I was not prepared for!

Favorite Quote:
“With all due respect, Jacobi, that’s a load of bull. It was bad, but I handled it. That’s what the job is. I hardly have a scratch on me. So stop treating me like a victim. I’m fully functional and absolutely sane. This is my case and I’m on it. OK? OK?” - This is the epitome of how strong Lindsay is in this series but especially in this book. She was superb.
