This collection features three pulse-pounding stories from James Patterson: "The Lawyer Lifeguard" with Doug Allyn, "The Shut-In" with Duane Swierczynski, and "The Doctor's Plot" with Connor Hyde.

The Lawyer Lifeguard: Are you the lawyer who got blown up with his girlfriend? Defense lawyer Brian Lord survived the car bomb that killed his fiancée. Out of work and out of his mind, he takes on a lifeguard job at the beach. But there's one wave he'll never see coming...

The Doctor's Plot: Abi Brenner is the new medical examiner in the Napa Valley, a dream job in a dream location. But her fairy tale will take a terrifying turn when she uncovers a series of murders --with one sinister thing in common.

The Shut-In: A woman who has solar urticaria, an uncommon allergy to the sun, watches the outside world through a flying drone as she is confined to her studio apartment. But when her high-tech toy records a vicious murder, she's determined to track down the killer--a killer who knows she's being watched.
