Claire Washburn is named medical examiner of the year, and the Women’s Murder Club throws a party. A father crashes it, looking for reporter Cindy Thomas: his daughter is missing, and she is not the only one. Sergeant Lindsay Boxer already has a Jane Doe from a beach and a young woman found in Golden Gate Park, and the question the book chases is whether every one of these cases is the same case.
Hardcover, 352 pages, from Little, Brown, published May 2026. Twenty-sixth in the series, written with Maxine Paetro.
