Overview

It's finally time! Detective Lindsay Boxer is in labor--while two killers are on the loose.

Lindsay Boxer's beautiful baby is born! But after only a week at home with her new daughter, Lindsay is forced to return to work to face two of the biggest cases of her career.

A rising star football player for the San Francisco 49ers is the prime suspect in a grisly murder. At the same time, Lindsay is confronted with the strangest story she's ever heard: An eccentric English professor has been having vivid nightmares about a violent murder and he's convinced is real. Lindsay doesn't believe him, but then a shooting is called in-and it fits the professor's description to the last detail.

Lindsay doesn't have much time to stop a terrifying future from unfolding. But all the crimes in the world seem like nothing when Lindsay is suddenly faced with the possibility of the most devastating loss of her life.

Just a week ago, Detective Lindsay Boxer brought her baby back from the hospital; now she's being called back to work to investigate a page one murder with a prime time suspect. When not sidestepping pesky media questions about the guilt of a certain San Francisco 49ers superstar, she finds herself even more distracted by another homicide that was predicted in detail by a local English professor. With her hands full with fast-breaking clues, our intrepid detective just wonders when she be able to return to her infant bundle of joy. James Patterson and Maxine Paetro at the top of their game.

Meet the Author

James Patterson
James Patterson has had more New York Times bestsellers than any other writer, ever, according to Guinness World Records. Since his first novel won the Edgar Award in 1977 James Patterson's books have sold more than 240 million copies. He is the author of the Alex Cross novels, the most popular detective series of the past twenty-five years, including Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Mr. Patterson also writes the bestselling Women's Murder Club novels, set in San Francisco, and the top-selling New York detective series of all time, featuring Detective Michael Bennett. He writes full-time and lives in Florida with his family.

Biography

James Patterson had been working as a very successful advertising copywriter when he decided to put his Masters degree in English to a somewhat different use. Inspired by bestselling hair-raising thrillers like The Day of the Jackal and The Exorcist, Patterson went to work on his first novel. Published in 1976, The Thomas Berryman Number established him as a writer of tightly constructed mysteries that move forward with the velocity of a bullet. For his startling debut, Patterson was awarded the prestigious Edgar Award for Best First Mystery Novel—an auspicious beginning to one of the most successful careers in publishing.

A string of gripping standalone mysteries followed, but it was the 1992 release of Along Came a Spider that elevated Patterson to superstar status. Introducing Alex Cross, a brilliant black police detective/forensic psychologist, the novel was the first installment in a series of bestselling thrillers that has proved to be a cash cow for the author and his publisher.

Examining Patterson's track record, it's obvious that he believes one good series deserves another…maybe even a third! In 2001, he debuted the Women's Murder Club with 1st to Die, a fast-paced thriller featuring four female crime fighters living in San Francisco—a homicide detective, a medical examiner, an assistant D.A., and a cub reporter. The successful series has continued with other numerically titled installments. Then, spinning off a set of characters from a previous novel (1998's When the Wind Blows), in 2005 he published Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. Featuring a "flock" of genetically engineered flying children, the novel was a huge hit, especially with teen readers, and spawned a series of vastly popular fantasy adventures.

In addition to continuing his bestselling literary franchises, Patterson has also found time to co-author thrillers with other writers—including Peter de Jonge, Andrew Gross, Maxine Paetro, and Howard Roughan—and has even ventured into romance (Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, Sam's Letters to Jennifer) and children's literature (santaKid). Writing at an astonishing pace, this prolific author has turned himself into a one-man publishing juggernaut, fulfilling his clearly stated ambition to become "the king of the page-turners."

Good To Know

Patterson's Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas was inspired by a diary his wife kept that tracked the development of their toddler son.

Two of Patterson's Alex Cross mysteries (Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls) have been turned into films starring Morgan Freeman; in 2007, a weekly television series premiered, based on the bestselling Women's Murder Club novels.

    Highly Recommend

    Can't wait to finish reading the 12th of Never. The Women's Murder Club series is my favorite of all Patterson's books. I hope it keeps on going through many more "numbers." Patterson is a great mystery writer. I definitely recommend this series to readers who enjoy having women as tough intelligent professionals.

    James Patterson is an excellent writer. I thoroughly enjoy his Woman's Murder Club series. I read all of his books with the exception of the wizard series, toys and gruesome stories. Alex Cross, Michael Bennett & Woman's Murder Club good reading for me.

    Is it April 29th yet!!

    I have the first 11 of the Womens Murder Club books on CD and will eventually get this one on CD, but for now I have read the first 17 chapters of the free preview and immediately preordered the Nook eBook (due out April 29) so I can get back to it. Patterson & Paetro never disappoint!

    How unfair and manipulative!!!!!!

    This book end with a cliffhanger, so that we are almost forced to buy the next book for a conclusion. Guess what? I am not buying another book for more than $11.- just to finish and get to the conclusion. Apparently Mr Patterson like our government, has lost touch with the little people. What a dirty trick to play on his fans.

    Sigh...does anyone remember 1st To Die written only by James Pat

    Sigh...does anyone remember 1st To Die written only by James Patterson? It had one continuous plot, fantastic story and character development, and chapters that were more than 2 pages. The Women's Murder Club meant something and they all worked together to solve a mystery. That was a great book! Ah, those were the days.

    Now we have 12th of Never, probably named because that's the next time I'll read this book. So many stories that you can't really appreciate or enjoy any of them because there's not enough time to develop any of them fully and give the resolution any appreciation or real meaning. All the resolutions just seemed thrown together as if the authors didn't put a lot of time or thought into them.

    My final thoughts:
    1. Enough of the June storyline. What was even the point of her being in one scene of this book? That horse was beaten dead in the last book. Let it go.

    2. Come up with one mystery and let the club come together to solve it like the earlier books. Any one of the mysteries in this book would have been fabulous if developed more and allowed to completely play out.

    3. More Jacobi. I miss him not being around so much.

    Lastly, I predict next year's title to be Friday the 13th. Next year, I'll look back at this and see if I was right.

    Not Sure? -Kay the Critic

    I have never read this book before, but i am not sure if i should or not. I have no idea what its about. I looked @ some reviews saying it was not good and some that said it was good. I will rate this book a three star. Its not because its bad and not because its good. I think three stars is a good rate for this book if you have never read it before.
