SOMEBODY DIES.
A young mother is recuperating
in a San Francisco hospital when she is suddenly gasping for breath. The
call button fails to bring help in time. The hospital's doctors, some of
the best in the nation, are completely mystified by her death. How did
this happen?
APOCALYPSE NEARS.
This is not the first such case at
the hospital. Just as patients are about to be released with a clean bill
of health, their conditions take a devastating turn for the worse.
Accompanied by the newest member of the Women's Murder Club, Yuki
Castellano, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer probes deeper into the incidents.
Could these cases just be appalling coincidences? Or is a maniac playing
God with people's lives? When someone close to the Women's Murder Club
begins to exhibit the same frightening symptoms, Lindsay fears no one is
safe.
THE 5TH HORSEMAN RIDES.
It is a wild race against time as
Lindsay's investigation reveals a hospital administration determined to
shield its reputation at all costs. And while the hospital wages an
explosive court battle that grips the entire nation, Lindsay and the
Women's Murder Club hunt for a merciless killer among its esteemed medical
staff.
The newest addition to the top-selling new mystery series takes
the Women's Murder Club to the most terrifying heights of suspense they
have yet to encounter. The 5th Horseman proves once again that James
Patterson is "the page-turningest author in the game right
now".
