THE 7TH MONTH
In Lisa Gardner's first-ever short story following thirteen bestselling
novels, The 7th Month takes listeners between the books and into a day
in the life of Boston Detective D. D. Warren.
In her seventh month of pregnancy, D.D. should be taking it easy.
Instead, she accepts a small consulting role on the set of a serial
killer film shooting in Boston. D.D. figures she'll be useful to someone
for at least one night, serving as a police expert and making a little
extra money in the bargain.
It seems like a simple task -- until the previous film consultant, a
former Boston cop, is found beaten to death. Suddenly D.D.'s date with
Hollywood gets serious. Extremely pregnant, on the trail of a killer,
and surrounded by a hundred and four murder suspects in the middle of a
graveyard, D.D. must quickly unravel a tangled web of lies. As another
cast member is attacked, D.D. realizes that like it or not, her
priorities have changed -- and her last desperate hope is that she can
catch a killer before she and her unborn baby face mortal danger.
Packed with the suspenseful storytelling that has turned Gardner's
novels into New York Times bestsellers, The 7th Month reveals new
insights into a beloved series heroine.
CATCH ME
In four days, someone is going to kill me...
Detective D. D. Warren is hard to surprise. But a lone woman outside
D.D.'s latest crime scene shocks her with a remarkable proposition:
Charlene Rosalind Carter Grant believes that she will be murdered in
four days. And she wants Boston's top detective to handle her death
investigation.
It will be up close and personal. No evidence of forced entry, no sign
of struggle.
Charlie tells a chilling story: Each year at 8:00 p. m. on January 21, a
woman has died. The victims have been childhood best friends from a
small town in New Hampshire; the motive remains unknown. Now only one
friend, Charlie, remains to count down her final hours.
But as D.D. quickly learns, Charlie Grant doesn't plan on going down
without a fight. By her own admission, the girl can outshoot, outfight,
and outrun anyone in Boston, which begs the question: Is Charlie the
next victim, or the perfect perpetrator? As D.D. tracks a vigilante
gunman who is killing pedophiles in Boston, she must also delve into the
murders of Charlie's friends, racing to find answers before the next
gruesome January 21 anniversary. Is Charlie truly in danger, or is she
hiding a terrifying secret that may turn out to be the biggest threat of
all?
In four days, someone is going to kill me. But he's gotta catch me
first.
