FREE: 2ND CHANCE BY JAMES PATTERSON

The listing, 2ND CHANCE BY JAMES PATTERSON has ended.

James Patterson's "2nd Chance" hard cover.

It's been three months since Lindsay Boxer's world was turned upside down. The Honeymoon Murders were solved in 1st to Die, but Lindsay paid a terrible price with the loss of a friend and colleague.


Now the San Francisco policewoman is back with a new title: Lieutenant Boxer. Lindsay barely has a chance to enjoy her elevated position before she's called on another case. A young girl has been gunned down in front of a church. It isn't a random attack. The girl was targeted. Quick police sleuthing determines that this murder is connected to a brutal killing in Oakland.


Just as the department is gathering clues, another man, a cop no less, is gunned down. High-profile civic leaders want to call the homicides racial hate crimes, but Lindsay sees something else--a gang-type symbol called a Chimera, which represents the lowest criminal element within the state's prison system.


When the very heart of the city's police department is shattered, Lindsay becomes more determined than ever to get the Chimera. However, the usual office politics prevent her from getting the support she needs. She calls on her best friends to identify the killer and bring him to justice. Can they do it before more lives are lost?
