Alex Cross has Washington, DC. The Women's Murder Club has San Francisco. Detective Michael Bennett has all of New York City, chaos capital of the world.

The son of one of New York's wealthiest families is snatched off the street and held hostage. But this kidnapper isn't demanding money. Instead, he quizzes his prisoner on the price others pay for his life of luxury ... and wrong answers are fatal.

Detective Michael Bennett heads the investigation. With ten kids of his own, he can't understand what could lead someone to target anyone's children. When another student from a powerful family disappears, the FBI sends in its top abduction specialist: Agent Emily Parker. Bennett's job and love life suddenly get even more complicated.

Before Bennett has a chance to protest the FBI's intrusion on his case, the killer mastermind changes his routine. His plan leads up to the most devastating demonstration yet: one that could bring cataclysmic ruin to every inch of New York City.©2010 James Patterson; (P)2010 Hachette Audio

exciting book on audio for the 6 plus hours of a road trip. sometimes the character's voices didn't really make sense but besides that it was a pretty good audiobook, gripping for the whole time.

Great police story,but did not care for the woman

story was great (as always), but I HATED THE SOUND EFFECTS - the spookymusic(?) in the background - and especially the various characters sobbing and crying! I would much prefer just a simple narration - it doesn't need to sound like a radio melodrama!

Enough with the sound effects already!

1st book in the series was the best -especially the narrator. Now, they’ve added the sound of a man crying. the sound of a gun shot, etc. Not enjoyable when listening to a book. It feels like a bad movie where they only remembered to include the audio portion. Also the plot was the same as the previous book in the series - easy to predict what’s going to happen next.

Not fond of the sound effects

Great acting and character development. thoroughl

I like mysteries but this one had too many gory details. The story was good and I liked the characters. My only problem besides the gore was thta the narrators did not change their voices for their different characters. Sometimes I coudln't tell if it was Emily, Mary Catherine, or Mike's boss. Confusing.....

A Bit Gruesome
