He has written many other number one bestsellers including collaborations with President Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton, stand-alone thrillers and non-fiction.I think that one of Mr Patterson’s great strengths is his ability to touch the zeitgeist and he does it here admirably with guns and drugs.

I wonder what I would do if I were, say, pursuing a killer across a drawbridge when it started to raise, leaving me on one side and the killer on the other side? Boxer becomes deeply involved in the murders, risking both her badge and her life, and she’s forced to make impossible decisions with equally unpleasant outcomes. Senior crime reporter Cindy Thomas is writing a biography of Evan Burke, a notorious serial killer who sits in solitary confinement in San Quentin.

He’s consulting with the FBI on an extradition warrant and she’s investigating the gun smuggling rumours and a series of potentially related murders. Meanwhile, lots of bodies show up: A young girl disappears and is later found dead in a ditch, and ex-cops are found dead with their lips stapled shut and “You talk, you die” written on their foreheads. Another great read from this series - there are always multiple strands to the story that all tie together at the end.
