Publisher's summary

When New York City's mayor is desperate to find his missing daughter, Detective Michael Bennett steps in to help the mayor and strike a deal to save his son in prison.

Bennett and the mayor have always had a tense relationship, but now the mayor sees in Bennett a discreet investigator with family worries of his own. Just one father helping another.

The detective leaps into the case and sources lead him to a homicide in the Bronx. The victim has ties to a sophisticated hacking operation - and also to the mayor's missing daughter, Natalie, a 21-year-old computer prodigy. The murder is part of a serial killing spree, one with national security implications. And suddenly Bennett is at the center of a dangerous triangle anchored by NYPD, FBI, and a transnational criminal organization.

Michael Bennett has always been an honorable man, but sometimes - when the lives of innocents are at stake - honor has to take a back seat. Survival comes first.

Wonderful!

I’m a sap for a happy ending. This book had twists and is a great read. Reader is perfect for the part, puts the right pictures in your head. Great job all around and I didn’t have to skip over “sexy” scenes. Thank you!

Dedicated detective who never forgets his family

I have read all Michael Bennett books. Always excited when Patterson announces a new book. The Michael Bennett and Women’s Murder Club series; I’ll never miss the downloads. As usual, there is mystery, action, family love and devotion. What more can I ask for in a book.

ok story terrible narration

The narrator was terrible with the main character, better with other characters. Story was ok but very slow to start and predictable.
