This is part of James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club series, following detective Lindsay Boxer and her close-knit team of friends — a prosecutor, a reporter, and a medical examiner — as they face new danger in San Francisco.

When a shooting erupts on a ferry, leaving several people dead and others injured, Lindsay must hunt down a killer whose motives seem increasingly unpredictable. At the same time, her friend Claire Washburn becomes the target of a violent attack, and another friend, Cindy Thomas, investigates the mysterious disappearance of several children.

As these cases intertwine, Lindsay is forced to balance her duty, her friendships, and her own personal life under immense pressure. The 6th Target explores loyalty, justice, and the thin line between order and chaos in Patterson’s trademark fast-paced, suspenseful style.
