NYPD Detective Michael Bennett will stop at nothing to protect family: his wife, his kids—and his fellow officers—in the latest psychological thriller from bestselling author James Patterson.At every death scene, Bennett says a prayer over the victim. But recently, too many of the departed have been fellow cops. “I want you to look at these deaths on special assignment,” NYPD Inspector Celeste Cantor says. “Report only to me.”Bennett excels as a solo investigator. But he’s chasing a killer who feeds on isolation… and paranoia. The author shows restraint in the use of dramatic elements, choosing instead to focus on authenticity. Conflicts are grounded in realistic motivations, and resolutions feel proportional to the challenges presented. This grounded approach adds credibility to the narrative. The narrative remains focused on its core themes while allowing room for exploration. Supporting ideas enhance rather than distract from the main story. This balance contributes to a sense of unity throughout the book.
