The 5th horseman - James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (Women's Murder Club #5)

Somebody dies

A young mother is recuperating in a San Francisco hospital when she is suddenly gasping for breath. The call button fails to bring help in time. The hospital's doctors, some of the best in the nation, are completely mystified by her sudden death. How did this happen?

Apocalypse nears

This is not the first case at the hospital. Just as patients are about to be released with a clean bill of health, their conditions take devastating turns for the worse. Accompanied by the newest member of the Women's Murder Club, Yuki Castellano, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer probes deeper into the incidents. Could these cases just be appalling coincidences? Or is a maniac playing God with people's lives? When someone close to the Women's Murder Club begins to exhibit the same frightening symptoms, Lindsay fears no one is safe.

The 5th Horseman rides

It is a wild race against time as Lindsay's investigation reveals an administration determined to shield its reputation at all costs. And while the hospital wages an explosive court battle that grips the entire nation, Lindsay and the Women's Murder Club hunt for a merciless killer among its esteemed medical staff.
