A Deadly Wedding Night
Lindsay Boxer stands on her apartment terrace, service revolver pressed against her temple. This haunting image opens James Patterson's psychological thriller about a homicide detective battling both serial killers and a devastating personal diagnosis. The newlyweds David and Melanie Brandt celebrate their wedding night in the Grand Hyatt's Mandarin Suite, surrounded by roses and champagne. David gives his bride diamond earrings, whispering tenderly, "It's you who pulls my tides." Their romantic moment is shattered when a man identifying himself as Phillip Campbell arrives, brutally murdering both of them. The crime scene Lindsay encounters the next day is particularly disturbing. Despite expensive jewelry present, nothing was stolen. The bride's underwear had been pulled down, suggesting sexual assault after death. Most peculiarly, the killer switched jackets with the groom and left behind an expensive bottle of champagne. These strange details hint at something far more sinister than robbery-a killer with a specific, twisted ritual. And on this same day, Lindsay receives devastating news: she has Negli's aplastic anemia, a potentially fatal condition. With this double burden-a horrific murder investigation and a life-threatening illness-Lindsay must somehow find the strength to continue.
