The 7th Month. A Detective D. D. Warren Story, featuring an early look at TOUCH & GO (A Penguin Special from Dutton)

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.
