NYC's number one detective, Michael Bennett, has a huge problem - someone is recreating the crimes of infamous killers from New York's history. The city has never been more terrified. A rash of horrifying crimes tears through the city, throwing it into complete chaos and terrorising everyone living there. Immediately, it becomes clear that they are not the work of an amateur, but of a calculating, efficient, and deadly mastermind. The city calls on Detective Michael Bennett, pulling him away from a seaside retreat with his ten adopted children, his grandfather, and their beloved nanny, Mary Catherine. Not only does it tear apart their first vacation since Michael's wife Maeve died - it leaves the entire family open to attack. Bennett enlists the help of a former colleague, FBI Agent Emily Parker. As his affection for Emily grows into something stronger, his relationship with Mary Catherine takes an unexpected turn. All too soon, another appalling crime leads Bennett to a shocking discovery that exposes the killer's pattern and the earth-shattering enormity of his plan.

Loved this book! Loved the entire series so far, I hope there's more coming because I cannot get enough of Detective Bennett and his family.

Entirely predictable good Irish cop vs serial killer story. A book that cannot even keep its story straight. Midway through the book the killer's name changes. 80% through the book the killer's motive suddenly changes. Without a word of explanation. The MacGuffin isn't relevant, the Flaraties side story and the associated love stories just exist to fill up pages. Very disappointing.

I really enjoy the Mike Bennett series, and found the ending of this one quite exciting. He has such a sweet family!

Now this is James Patterson as I know and love to read! Bennett is an enjoyable character along with his extensive family. Great story, action and suspense. Patterson has been all over the board lately with different co-authors, but this combo is a good match.

Well written and convincing story. A rash of crimes rips through the city of New York. They appear to be the works of a calculating, deadly maniac(s). City detective Bennet was called to handle the cases. Quite a number of twists and turns. First half of the book is all crimes; Next half picks up steam in solving the crimes and is very interesting and an attention-grabber.

This book is by patterson with co-author Michael Ledwidge and after reading it has shot it up to the top of my list of Best reads, and I do believe it is all down to Ledwidge. (Read anything by him) This book has all the elements of a good thriller but with a bit of Irish humour and romance thrown in, and it also encompasses the family values that can be lacking in real life. It is well written and fast paced and has the reader hooked until the very last page. All in all an absolute fantastic read.
