New Yorkers aren't easily intimidated, but someone is doing their best to scare them, badly: why? After two inexplicable high-tech attacks, the city that never sleeps is on edge. Detective Michael Bennett, along with his old pal, the FBI's Emily Parker, have to catch the shadowy criminals who claim responsibility—but they're as good at concealing their identities as they are at wreaking havoc.
In the wake of a shocking assassination, Bennett begins to suspect that these mysterious events are just the prelude to the biggest threat of all. Soon he's racing against the clock, and against the most destructive enemy he's faced yet, to save his beloved city--before everyone's worst nightmare becomes a reality.
Michael and Mary Catherine are in Ireland enjoying some time together as she deals with an inheritance. It was great to have them alone and advancing their relationship. Michael reluctantly returns home without her when the sale falls through. Seamus, his grandfather, causes some stress when he disappears, but thankfully is found quickly. Soon after all hell breaks loose and a race is on to figure out who is behind the attacks. Michael and Emily make great partners. The action is intense, fast paced, suspenseful and exciting. I missed Mary Catherine, but loved the fill in nanny Martin, and hope he returns in future books. This may be one of the quickest audio books I've listened to in a long time. Danny Mastrogiorgio and Henry Leyva do a fantastic job with the narration.
List of the books in the series can be found here.
This complimentary review copy was received thankfully from Mitch at Hachette Audio and in no way influenced my review of this book. These are my personal thoughts and reactions to the reading of the book.

I do like that series and need to get back to it.
Sounds like a great listen and I enjoy a series too where relationships develop over time.
The Michael Bennett series is probably my fave James Patterson series now, but I've somehow missed this one!
