Story
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.

Story
On his first night with Detroit PD, Officer Walter O’Brien is called to a murder scene. A terrified 20-year-old has bludgeoned her kidnapper with skill that shocks even O’Brien’s veteran partner. The young woman is also a brilliant escape artist. Her bold flight from police custody makes the case impossible to solve - and, for Walter, even more impossible to forget. By the time Walter’s promoted to detective, his fascination with the missing, gray-eyed woman is approaching obsession.

John Grisham is the acknowledged master of the legal thriller. In his first collection of novellas, law is a common thread, but America’s favorite storyteller has several surprises in store. “Homecoming” takes us back to Ford County. Jake Brigance is back, but he’s not in the courtroom. In “Strawberry Moon,” we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate only three hours away from execution. The “Sparring Partners” are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its founder, their father, was sent to prison.

You talk, you die.

Really Absurd
This story is about supposed white men violently protesting their gun rights being taken away in the streets of San Francisco. These white men destroy businesses and stalk police.
So very disappointed in James Patterson, who has always been a loved and favorite author of mine. 2nd right amendment supporters have never protested in San Francisco and never would. Why doesn’t he write about something that’s actually happening there, the violent protests that actually destroyed businesses. These continue to happen and the police do nothing. I know This book is a work of fiction but I can not even finish it. If you believe in the constitution. Then you will be sorely dissatisfied. If not, if your favorite news channel is CNN.. you will love it!

Undereducated
So right to it. The police went to a gun show to buy illegal firearms she said they found a Glock SOLDERED showing it had been modified to automatic and Not semi automatic. A little education or research would have shown the author how stupid that is. In another part they were interrogating a suspect and she said two SECURITY GUARDS came and took the person to the cells really not other officers. And calling an AK LETHAL GRADE !? What the hell is that? Then T boned a Jeep up against a building but then she opened the drivers door that was supposed to be against the wall. Just research a little or get a better proof reader

Disappointed
I've been following these ladies from their very first book. I've read each book and I enjoyed it. However I could not get into the story by listening, there were too many characters, plot was changing and it was difficult to keep my interest. I couldn't finish it fast enough I was bored. For me, this book needs to be read which I will do with my free library card. 📚

Cheesy and predictable
Disappointing for Patterson. Felt like a romance novel. All the “good guys” are perfect, no character depth. Plot line and outcome obvious early in the story.
