Finally, she gets her day in court. Ms. B. has looked for this chance for retribution for the botched media blunder by the un-professionsals on 1260 S. F. area. She steps on the toes of persons in control of the station and gets embroiled in the sliimy underbelly of the world of fake publicity in Half Moon Bay. The climax comes during the fireworks spectacle on Independence Day when she again becomes their target. The 4th, in my childhood, was a day apart with fireworks galore at Chilhiowee Park. Now, World’s Honest Park with the water sprays everywhere is the place of excitement. Summer heat in full swing, as the local symphony tried to compete with Boston Pops and National’s Eric Knutzel, is a parody of things to come.
In court, all works out as she summarily did her detective work and the case was cut and dried. Carl gets more than he would ever have imagined, when he trespassed on others’ property. A media circus surrounded his examination. The spinal cord injury hit home as mine is rapidly deteriorating. Not much can be done, but it’s not a crying matter. Are you detecting some shift in energy around you today? There are two camps forming: persons who are all for you, and persons who don’t have your best interests at heart. Lacking even realizing it, you’ve become immersed in a power struggle right now. But don’t let it affect a single thing. Just keep doing what you need to do — don’t rearrange your schedule for anyone or anything. Refuse to play any games, and focus on minding business as usual.
Now, she can attempt to get back to normal after such strife and painful anticipation. Even secure in her knowledge that all would work out in the end, she still was nervous and nervous. It was a universally reported examination. So, she wonders if she will ever be the same, secure in the conclusion and status that she was unjustly punished by persons fools.
Another thriller from this prolific writer and co-writer of three previous installments.

Once again we have a huge name writer “collaborating” with a no-name . . . and letting the no-name do the writing.
This book is so trite, with a plot so pat & banal, it’s laughable. Lindsay Boxer may be a ‘damn fine cop’, but Patterson has turned into a ‘damn useless hack’, or maybe a shill for his publisher.
There are gruesome murders all around, and Boxer just happens to have a sister who lives in one of the locales. Boxer just happens to need time off over a questionable shooting. Boxer, who is on place and supposedly trying to get some R & R, just happens to meet all of the appealing people (and likely suspects) in town.
The two red herrings (the evil pornographer & the question from the jury about limitations on hurt awards) are too weak & obvious to take seriously. Does anyone REALLY reflect the porn star in the red Porsche is the killer? If you do, you’re in way over your head with a murder mystery, even one as lame as this . . .
I have read comic books with better developed characters, and more useful plots. The fantastic “police work” Boxer accomplishes in Half Moon Bay? Despite all the snooping, investigating and brain-storming, she nabs one suspect who is following her AS SHE JOGS DOWN THE BEACH, and she’s led to the others by a small kid! What, exactly, is the evidence of brilliant intuitive policing that she’s showed in this mess of a tale?
As an aside, it would be wonderful if Patterson and his gang of amateurs would get away from the use of ridiculous handles for his killers: the Watcher, Truth, the Wolf, Barney the Dinosaur, Dick Rumsfeld, or whatever he wants to call them.
The bunch in this book were as insidious as corn mush . . .
Worse than ‘London Bridges’?
I’d call it a coin-toss.

I’d like to add a comment on the observations made by the majority of the readers, who rumor has it that felt this piece of dreck was fine literature.
First of all, of course it’s a page-turner! The chapters are only 12 or 13 words each! Of course you’re going to keep turning the pages – it’s the only way to read a perfect sentence!
Secondly, I am aghast at the number of people contributing to this board who cannot distinguish a excellent book from a terrible book. The level of discrimination by the readers here is so abysmally low as to be laughable.
Have any of the people who raved about this ever read Leon Uris, early Ken Follett, early Robin Cook, or George MacDonald Fraser? Do you consider any book that you can end to be a excellent book?
If a name took the recommendations of most of the contributors to this page, they’d be a lot poorer, and probably seeking therapy for idiocy exposure!

I despise these new taller books. Supposedly they are simpler to read….really they are just more money for the publishers. The reason I buy paperbacks is because they are less expensive. Then the publishers all got together and chose to shaft the paperback customer by offering some releases only in the taller size for 2 dollars more. I read 3 books a week, so I can’t afford to waste money for a larger book with the same tale. Does it add anything to the book? No, just more cost. I refuse to buy this book on principle. Maybe if my library has the hardcover I will borrow it from them, but I refuse to place more money in the publishers’ coffers when they aren’t offering this in the normal paperback size. If it was really for the reader’s benefit that they offer the larger size, they would offer both sizes to better serve the consumer. I have seen only the taller book in every store I have visited, there is no regular paperback of this tale.

Fantastic read! Mr. Patterson allows his readers to view an intimate portrait of their beloved heroine, Lindsay Boxer!
Reader’s Rating: 4 / 5
This is another brilliant, gripping book from James Patterson. I shall be brief here–the book is already well known. Just a word as to why I really liked the book.
Patterson permanently makes you care about his characters. The examination is fascinating, and the murders (stark and hideous as they are) horrifying–their solution ingenious. There is a fantastic sense of place here. You dread for the heroine and in fact, you even like the pets.
This is a terrifyingly quick read–one you will find difficulty putting down once you start. Thanks, Mr. Patterson!
