This five-book paperback set follows SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer and her crime-fighting friends through five explosive, twist-filled investigations across San Francisco. Written in Patterson's trademark short, punchy chapters, these novels suit readers who crave relentless pace, high stakes, and characters worth caring about. About the Books This set gathers five consecutive instalments in the Women's Murder Club series. In 20th Victim , near-simultaneous murders in Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco force Sergeant Lindsay Boxer to untangle a wide conspiracy before the killer strikes again. 21st Birthday turns personal when a mother's frantic plea leads Lindsay and reporter Cindy Thomas into the disappearance of a young woman and her baby, racing the clock as the case darkens. 22 Seconds pulls Lindsay into a dangerous gun-trafficking case stretching across the Mexican border, testing her judgement and her safety. 23rd Midnight brings a chilling copycat killer recreating a captured serial killer's crimes, staying one step ahead of investigators. Finally, 23 1/2 Lies unravels hidden connections and long-buried secrets that hit closer to home for Lindsay than any case before it. Throughout, the Women's Murder Club — Lindsay, Cindy, medical examiner Claire, and prosecutor Jill — bring warmth and loyalty to dark investigations, balancing sharp procedural detail with real emotional stakes. Each novel is fast and standalone-friendly, though fans will appreciate the deepening friendships that reward reading the set in sequence.
