Step on a Crack

By: James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge

Narrated by: John Slattery, Reg Rogers

In this heart-pounding novel from the world’s #1 bestselling author, while reckoning with a devastating personal loss, Detective Michael Bennett takes on the most sinister challenge of his career: a kidnapping crisis that could destroy the most powerful people in America.

The nation has fallen into mourning after the unexpected death of a beloved former First Lady, and the most powerful people in the world gather in New York for her funeral. Then the inconceivable occurs: Billionaires, politicians, and superstars of every kind are suddenly trapped within one man's brilliant and ruthless scenario. Bennett, father of ten, is pulled into the fray. As the danger escalates, Michael is hit with devastating news: After fighting for many years, his wife has succumbed to a terrible disease.

As New York descends into chaos, Bennett has lost the great love of his life and faces raising his ten devastated children alone-and rescuing 34 hostages. Day after day, Bennett confronts the most ruthless man he has ever dealt with, a man who kills without hesitation and counters everything the NYPD and FBI throw at him with impunity. As the entire world watches and the tension boils to a searing heat, Bennett has to find a way out-or face responsibility for the greatest debacle in history.

Great Listen.

excellent story. Great narration. Love the whole story line. Highly recommend this book to everyone.

Great book!

We tend to get these for our long trips. Recently we drove to Georgia from Texas and enjoyed this book very much. Intrigue, suspense, and good narration are all that this Audible book provides. Enjoy as we did!

Excellent Book

What did you like about this audiobook?

This is another Michael Bennett book...I love those. The way the family is involved throughout and alway a good mystery.

Patterson at his best, again!

Concerts again Patterson puts together the warmth of the family man, Mike, and the intrigue of a detectives life.

I love the Bennett books

I have read almost all of the Bennett books, actually read. He is by far my favorite character from Patterson. I accidentally bought the abridged copy to step back into the Bennett world, I must say I'm very good it was abridged, the sound effects and music were irritating at best. The narrators weren't horrible, so why mess it up with music and sounds?
