2nd Chance is the second novel in the Women's Murder Club series written by James Patterson with Andrew Gross.

Homicide Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer is still recovering from the recent loss of her partner and is just returning to the force when she is called in to investigate a series of murders that include an 11-year-old girl and an elderly woman.

After another police officer is killed by a sniper and then her boss is murdered, the trail leads to the ex-cop Frank Coombs.

To further complicate all of the Women's Murder Club ladies, Jill is pregnant and Claire becomes a target for the Chimera killer.

Cindy starts dating the murdered girl's pastor, Aaron Winslow, and Lindsay's father shows up, pretending he misses his daughter, but actually following Chimera, too, as he was present the day the killer slaughtered a 14-year-old boy.
