26 Beauties book description

SFPD’s Sergeant Lindsay Boxer’s best friend, Claire Washburn, is named medical examiner of the year.

But an uninvited guest crashes the Women’s Murder Club’s party: a concerned father seeking investigative reporter Cindy Thomas’s help in locating his missing daughter. And she’s not the only one.

Lindsay’s been investigating the deaths of a Jane Doe washed up on a nearby beach, and a young woman found in Golden Gate Park.

What if all these cases are connected?

The answers lie with the 26 Beauties on the run and in the wind.
