In the ending of the book "Fourth of July", Lindsay had to make a life or death decision and decide whether to kill the murderer or bring him to justice. Thankfully she made the decision to not kill him and she arrested him.

I am still reading the book, The 4th of July by James Patterson. The main character Lindsay Boxer is still struggling with guilt and feeling upset for the decision that she had to make at the very beginning of the book. I have a feeling forgiveness will come up in the book but it just hasn't come up quite yet. Lindsay is currently trying to relax in a small beach town.

I am currently reading The 4th of July by James Patterson. This is a thriller and a mystery. It starts out with the main character, Lindsay Boxer, having to make a hard decision. Lindsay Boxer is a cop and in the first couple of chapters partakes in a high speed chase. When she catches the driver she finds out that the driver is only 15 years old with her 13 year old brother in the passenger seat. Lindsay doesn't for see herself to be in any danger so she holsters her gun and begins to help the children out of the car. Once the children get out of the car, to Lindsay's surprise, the girl pulls out a gun and shoots Lindsay's partner twice then shoots Lindsay. After Lindsay is shot she fires two shots at the girl and kills her and shoots the boy leaving him in a wheelchair for life. This book has the theme of guilt because Lindsay feels very guilty for killing a girl and majorly injuring a little boy.
