3rd Degree

3rd Degree by James Patterson ramps up the Women’s Murder Club series with a fast, high-stakes crime thriller set on the streets of San Francisco. When Detective Lindsay Boxer is out for a jog, a townhouse explosion tears through a wealthy neighbourhood, leaving three dead and a chilling message signed “August Spies”. As more attacks follow, a pattern emerges: someone is determined to kill again and again, on a strict timetable. While Lindsay hunts for answers, the Women’s Murder Club—Lindsay, Claire, Cindy and Jill—realise the violence isn’t random. One of their own has been singled out, and the pressure exposes fractures in the group, including a secret that could change everything. Perfect for readers who enjoy police procedurals, serial killer suspense, strong female leads and tightly paced mystery series fiction.
