What this book is about
A sniper attacks a crowd outside a church in San Francisco, targeting a specific child among many. SFPD Detective Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club — a detective, a DA, a reporter, and a medical examiner — begin connecting the shootings to a pattern of racial targeting. The second Women's Murder Club novel escalates the stakes from the first and deepens the ensemble.
