Publisher's summary

The richest of New York's rich gather at the Pierre's Cotillion Room to raise money for those less fortunate. The mayor - with Detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald of the elite NYPD Red task force providing security - is on hand to applaud the Silver Bullet Foundation's new plan for public housing.

A fatal blast rocks the room, stirring up horrifying memories of 9/11. Is the explosion an act of terrorism - or a homicide?

A big-name female filmmaker is the next to die, in a desolate corner of New York City. Zach and Kylie investigate, and the intimate details of the director's life remind them of their own impossible situation - their personal relationship seems as unsolvable as the murders.

The crimes keep escalating, and the perpetrators may be among the A-list New Yorkers NYPD Red was formed to protect. Their insane pursuit of ever-greater pleasures, indulgences, and thrills could be the catalyst of destruction on an unthinkable scale. Zach and Kylie track a shadowy killer as he masterfully plays out his vendetta-and threatens to take down NYPD Red in the bargain.

Good book, good series Excellent Narrator!

I found this book to be exactly what I expected it to be from Patterson and Karp. This is a good solid series with all the requirements for a mystery novel.
This book has two major plots going on. One is the murder of a sex addicted woman in the film industry. The other is that of a bomber in NYC who is assumed to be a terrorist.
The publisher's summary sets up the book very well and I would not want to add anything else that might ruin this for anyone else. There are a few unexpected twists especially at the end with the terrorist case.
This book is certainly worth the credit.
Now Edoardo Ballerini is fantastic. I always look forward to listening to him and he did not disappoint.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A Tight and Twisty Crime Thriller

The interplay of main and supporting characters provides an excellent background to a solid Police Procedural Drama! The surprising ending leaves room for more novels in the NYPD-RED Series.
