The 7th Month

Packed with the suspenseful storytelling that has made Lisa Gardner a #1 New York Times bestselling author, this thrilling short story reveals new insights into beloved series heroine D. D. Warren. . .

In her seventh month of pregnancy, Boston Detective D. D. Warren 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.
