26 Beauties

Brought to you by Penguin. The twenty-sixth thrilling novel in the globally bestselling Women's Murder Club series. Beautiful young women are disappearing by the dozen. A celebration is cut short when a concerned father crashes Detective Inspector Lindsay Boxer’s party. His daughter is missing – and she’s not the only one. DI Lindsay Boxer has been tracking a chilling pattern: a Jane Doe washed ashore, a body in Golden Gate Park, a string of missing women across San Francisco. Someone is hunting the city’s most vulnerable, and the count keeps rising. When Lindsay reaches out to Interpol, their warning is stark: these cases are nearly impossible to solve, and the women are almost never found alive. But 'impossible' has never stopped the Women’s Murder Club before. **PRAISE FOR THE WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB 'Packed with action... a compelling read with great set pieces and, most of all, that charismatic cast of characters'** SUN 'I couldn't turn the pages quick enough. Great plot, fantastic storytelling and characters that spring off the page - all the right ingredients for a thriller!' HEIDI PERKS 'Fast-moving, intricately plotted... Boxer steals the show as the tough cop with a good heart.' MIRROR 'Terrific, high-octane, really pacy... every scene is a film, every character real, and every plot point leaves us breathless.'
