There are lots of changes and happenings amongst the women’s murder club. Lindsay is pregnant with husband Joe. Cindy is engaged to husband Rich. Yuki is sleeping with Brady, Lindsay’s boss. And Claire is still married, still working and still buds with Lindsay. And all are brought together when two very different cases demand the women’s time and attention. Someone is killing off known drug dealers while another has been burying skulls in a famous movie star’s garden.

Drug Deal Gone Wrong

Millionaire Chaz Smith is gunned down at a school recital. Hours after his murder, other drug dealers face the same fate. Someone is cleaning the streets off its most undesirable garbage. But unbeknownst to the killer, an undercover agent is now part of the carnage. To top it all off, the weapon in these murders was stolen from the police department’s evidence locker.

Lindsay Boxer and her partner Rich Conklin race against time to catch a cop killer, who could be a rogue cop and someone close to Lindsay. Evidence points directly to Lindsay’s former partner and captain, Jacobi. Could the Chief really be behind the killings? Will Lindsay turn him in if he is the shooter?

Heads

At the sprawling mansion of movie star Harry Chandler a grisly discovery is made. Two skulls encircled with flowers are found and after further digging, five more heads are unearthed. Harry Chandler was the prime suspect in his wife’s death after she went missing for 12 years. Could her bodiless head be amongst the seven skulls found buried in the garden?

Trouble on all Fronts

A cocky and obnoxious reporter has been painting Lindsay as an incompetent cop and one wrong move could end her career. The stress is compounded by problems in Lindsay’s marriage. Could she survive her own carnage?

The Book
