Publisher's summary

Detective Michael Bennett finally returns to New York City - and to the most unsettling, horrific case of his career.

At last, Detective Michael Bennett and his family are coming home to New York City. Thanks to Bennett, the ruthless crime lord whose vengeful mission forced the Bennett family into hiding has been brought down for good.

Back in the city that never sleeps, Bennett takes over a chaotic Outreach Squad in Harlem, where he receives an unusual call: a man claims to have seen a group of well-dressed men holding a bizarre party in a condemend building. With no clear crime or evidence, Bennett dismisses the report. But when a charred body is found in that very same building, he is forced to take the demented caller seriously - and is drawn into an underground criminal world of terrifying depravity.

Was the editor on his tail to get the book out?

The book was scattered with different storylines. And the ending appeared to be cut off. I was shocked when I realized it was the actual ending...he could've wrapped it up better.

Just okay

Other stories like "worst case" are better to use credits on. The ending left may unanswered questions and the main conflicts resolution made me think "it ends just like that?!?"

Great story!

Over the past two months, I have been listening to this series, and have enjoyed it so much! I beg James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge to make another book. Also, the narrator captivated me and made the story more suspenseful and exciting, and thanks to all to made this exciting book series!
