Publisher's Synopsis
SOMEBODY DIES.
A young mother is recuperating in a San Francisco hospital when she is suddenly gasping for breath. The call button fails to bring help in time. The hospital's doctors, some of the best in the nation, are completely mystified by her death. How did it happen?
APOCALYPSE NEARS.
This is not the first such case at the hospital. Just as patients are about to be release with a clean bill of health, their conditions take a devastating turn for the worse.
Accompanied by the newest member of the Women's Murder Club, Yuki Castellano, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer probes deeper in to the incidents. Could these cases just be appalling coincidences? Or is a manic playing God with people's lives.
THE 5TH HORSEMAN RIDES.
The latest addition to the top-selling mystery series takes the Women's Murder Club to the most terrifying heights of suspense they have yet to encounter. THE 5TH HORSEMAN proves once again that James Patterson is "the page-turningest author in the game right now" (San Francisco Chronicle).
