The latest book in the Detective Michael Bennett series has
Bennett returning to work after testifying in a mob trial. He and his family are finally able to leave
witness protection and get on with their lives.
Unfortunately, Bennett finds out upon his return that the Chief of
Detectives has changed and consequently, so has his job. The new man, Starkie, hates Bennett and is
determined to make him miserable so transfers him from Major Crimes to a new
division that is supposed to be a community liaison type of department but is
really a bureaucratic nightmare, staffed by officers that departments wanted to
get rid of, for one reason or another.
Bennett, determined not to let Starkie get the best of him, decides to
make this new position work, and eventually finds himself actually handling big
cases, not only for his new department, but also a major diamond thief
operation for Major Crimes. Of course,
his personal life is no picnic, with issues stemming from one of his children,
his nanny, and his father, Seamus. A
fast-paced thriller, fans of Patterson should be satisfied with this story.
