Just put on the Reserve List at the library is James Patterson’s The 6thTarget. In this installment of James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club series, everything is breaking loose all over San Francisco.

In the absence of ransom demands, officials can only guess at a motive. And the Murder Club grapples with a crisis even closer to home: After a brutal attack, one of their members is struggling to stay alive. Get ready for an adrenaline rush -- James Patterson is on the loose.
