James Patterson - 4th of July

The Women's Murder Club meet again. But this time Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer is the one on trial for the possible wrongful death of a young girl. But the girl was causing problems. The girl and her brother had been at the scene of a murder, they were being chased by the police when they crashed. Her and her partner went to the car. They put their weapons up when they believed the kids were safe, and injured. But as they were helping the kids out, both of them pull guns and the girl shoots Lindsay while the boy shoots her partner. Lindsay shoots the girl and then the boy. As a result, the girl dies and the boy finds himself paralyzed from the neck down.

Lindsay was deemed innocent of any wrong doing in criminal court, but the children's father still wanted a piece of her. So she was put on trial in civil court. In the meantime, she went out of town to relax only to find out that there was something going on in her sister's hometown. Killings, usually couples as the victims, couples with children. Why were these people killed, what was the connection? Apparently the victims in each case are people who have caused some kind of harm to children. One couple was killed because they did pornos involving children. Another couple was killed because they starved their children.

But in the middle of all this, she has to go back to San Francisco for her hearing. A hearing where the jury doesn't believe she was at fault, and that she had done anything to be considered negligent for.
