Third Degree could have been torn from the morning (or online) headlines!
Patterson sets the action, the story’s key dilemma and romance in the Bay City and nearby Berkeley California. Police Lieutenant Lindsey Boxer is witness to a horrific explosion on her daily run in the City, an explosion that takes Boxer and us on a roller-coaster ride of domestic terrorism and ends with bittersweet consequences for everyone involved. A taut and action-packed read, it’s a great introduction to Patterson’s ongoing “Women’s Murder Club” series.
