**Three women fled the scene -- but did one commit the crime?** When mob accountant Anthony Costello, nephew of the don of central Florida, is fatally stabbed in his own kitchen, the numbers are off. Way off. There were three women in the house with him that morning -- his wife, Anna; his maid, Serena; and his personal chef, Sarah. All three have reason to want him dead. And all three are missing. What's more, chef Sarah happens to be married to homicide detective Sean Walsh. Walsh may be a bad husband, but he's a good cop. And one with a ready audience: his vengeful ex-partner, who's in charge of the investigation; and Anthony's uncle, who has his own powerful hold over Walsh. Both are watching his every move. But even if Walsh can find the women and bring them in, it'll be their word against that of a dead man -- and none of them can be trusted.

Detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson are chasing a brilliant murderer called “the Family Man.”

A precise killer, he always moves under the cover of darkness, flawlessly triggering no alarms, leaving no physical evidence.

Cross and Sampson aren’t the only ones investigating.

Also in on this most intriguing case is the world’s bestselling true-crime author, who sees patterns everyone else misses.

The writer, Thomas Tull, calls the Family Man murders the perfect crime story. He believes the killer may never be caught.

Cross knows there is no perfect crime. And he’s going to hunt down the Family Man no matter what it takes.

Until the Family Man decides to flip the narrative and bring down Cross and his family.

**In the long-awaited follow-up to the #1 bestselling thriller INVISIBLE . . . t** **he perfect murder always looks like an accident.**

FBI agent Emmy Dockery is absolutely relentless. She's young and driven, and her unique skill at seeing connections others miss has brought her an impressive string of arrests.

But a shocking new case-unfolding across the country-has left her utterly baffled.

The victims all appear to have died by accident, and have seemingly nothing in common. But this many deaths can't be coincidence. And the killer is somehow one step ahead of every move Dockery makes. *How?*

To FBI special agent Harrison "Books" Bookman, everyone in the FBI is a suspect-particularly Emmy Dockery (the fact that she's his ex-fiancee doesn't make it easier).

But someone else is watching Dockery. Studying, learning, waiting. Until it's the perfect time to strike.

San Francisco Chronicle reporter Cindy has healed from her gunshot wound and has published a book on the infamous serial killers she helped to bring down. Lindsay is just happy that the gang are all still in one piece. But a new terror is sweeping the streets of San Francisco. A gang dressed as cops are ransacking the city, and leaving a string of dead bodies in their wake. Lindsay is on the case to track them down and needs to discover whether these killers could actually be police officers. Maybe even cops she already knows...

**Detective Lindsay Boxer vows to protect a young woman from a serial killer long enough to see her twenty-first birthday.** When young wife and mother Tara Burke goes missing with her baby girl, all eyes are on her husband, Lucas. He paints her not as a missing person but a wayward wife—until a gruesome piece of evidence turns the investigation criminal. While *Chronicle* reporter Cindy Thomas pursues the story and M.E. Claire Washburn harbors theories that run counter to the SFPD’s, ADA Yuki Castellano sizes Lucas up as a textbook domestic offender . . . who suddenly puts forward an unexpected suspect. If what Lucas tells law enforcement has even a grain of truth, there isn't a woman in the state of California who's safe from the reach of an unspeakable threat.

Инспектор Линдси Боксър (вече добре известна на българския читател от „Да умреш първи“, където става запознанството ни с Женския детективски клуб) храбро се завръща на сцената за своето четвърто и най-смразяващо разследване, което като нищо може да се окаже и последно.

След бясно среднощно преследване с коли из улиците на Сан Франциско, лейтенант Линдси Боксър стреля при самозащита и по този начин отприщва верижна реакция, в резултат на която полицейското управление е опозорено, целият град е разделен, едно семейство е погубено. Всичко, за което е работила през целия си живот, зависи от решението на дванадесетте съдебни заседатели.

За да избяга от медиите и разярените тълпи, Линдси се оттегля в дома на сестра си в живописно градче на океана. Но скоро след пристигането й се случват няколко зловещи убийства, които превръщат мирните жители в заложници. Няма улики, нито свидетели, но нещо напомня на Линдси за един неин неразкрит случай отпреди десет години, когато е била съвсем млад полицай. В разгара на жежкото лято Линдси и приятелките й от Клуба водят битка на два фронта — пред съдия и заседатели, докато се гледа делото й, и с неизвестен извършител, който е готов на всичко, за да не допусне разкриването на истината.

Джеймс Патерсън вече повече от десет години радва читателите с едни от най-напрегнатите трилъри на всички времена и неслучайно е обявен за мега-бестселърният криминален автор на Америка.
