Synopsis

Detective Lindsay Boxer's long-awaited wedding celebration becomes a distant memory when she is called to investigate a horrendous crime: a badly injured teenage girl is left for dead, and her newborn baby is nowhere to be found. Lindsay discovers that not only is there no trace of the criminals - but that the victim may be keeping secrets. At the same time, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the biggest case of her life - a woman who has been accused of murdering her husband in front of her two young children. Yuki's career rests on a guilty verdict, so when Lindsay finds evidence that could save the defendant, she is forced to choose. Should she trust her best friend or follow her instinct?

The no. 1 bestselling 10th novel in the Women’s Murder Club series

A HONEYMOON INTERRUPTED

Detective Lindsay Boxer has finally married her long-time boyfriend Joe. But homicide detectives don't have time for honeymoons, and she's soon back on the beat. A fifteen-year-old girl is found unconscious in the street, naked but for a cheap plastic raincoat, and haemorrhaging badly after having given birth within the last 36 hours. But her baby is nowhere to be found.

A DEEPENING MYSTERY

At the same time, Lindsay's close friend and fellow member of the Women's Murder Club reporter Cindy Thomas is investigating a terrifying story. Two women have reported sexual assaults, but neither can remember anything of the attacks. Are these the first of many? Cindy is determined to uncover the truth, but her headstrong approach can lead her straight into danger...

A BATTLE BETWEEN FRIENDS

At the same time, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano – a member of the Women’s Murder Club – is prosecuting the case of her life: a renowned heart surgeon accused of murdering her husband in front of their young children. The case looks like a slam dunk, even against a defence attorney specialising in defending the rich and powerful. But when Lindsay finds evidence that could destroy Yuki’s case, she’s forced to make a terrible choice.

YOU CAN’T HAVE IT ALL...
