The 20th Victim

By James Patterson & Maxine Paetro
The 20th Victim by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Sergeant Lindsay Boxer tackles an ambitious case that spans San Francisco, L.A., and Chicago in this pulse-pounding thriller of "smart characters" and "shocking twists" (Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

Three victims, three bullets, three cities. The shooters' aim is as fearsomely precise as their target selection. When Lindsay realizes that the fallen men and women excel in a lucrative, criminal activity, she leads the charge in the manhunt for the killers. As the casualty list expands, fear and fascination with this suspicious shooting gallery galvanizes the country.

The victims were no angels, but are the shooters villains . . . or heroes?

“I do enjoy this series. I cant seem to put the book down once I start and now im happy to say im onto the next!”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“The 20th Victim was one of my favorite plotlines in the Women’s Murder Club series so far. It had everything I love—fast pacing, high stakes, and a case that kept me completely hooked. From the start, it felt bigger and more intense than some of the previous books, with multiple killings happening almost simultaneously. What really made this one stand out was how unpredictable it was. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the story took a turn I never saw coming. The investigation had so many layers, and I loved how Lindsay and the team had to unravel the connections. Patterson’s short chapters and quick momentum made it an easy book to binge, but the twists stuck with me long after I finished. If you’re a fan of the series, this one is a must-read. It’s one of the most shocking and satisfying cases yet!”
