4th of July

This is an okay book co-written by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. In a late-night showdown after a near-fatal car chase, San Francisco police lieutenant Lindsay Boxer has to make an instantaneous decision: in self-defense, she fires her weapon – and sets off a chain of events that leaves a police force disgraced, an entire city divided, and a family destroyed. Was she being negligent or did she make the best out of a bad situation? Now everything she’s worked her entire life for hinges on the decision of twelve jurors. To escape scrutiny, she heads to the picturesque town of Half Moon Bay. Soon after her arrival, a string of grisly murders punches through the peaceful community.
