Summary
The son of one of New York's wealthiest families is snatched off the street and held hostage. His parents can't save him, because this kidnapper isn't demanding money. Instead, he quizzes his prisoner on the price others pay for his life of luxury. In this exam, wrong answers are fatal.
Detective Michael Bennett leads the investigation. With ten kids of his own, he can't begin to understand what could lead someone to target anyone's children. As another student disappears, one powerful family after another uses their leverage and connections to turn the heat up on the mayor, the press, anyone who will listen, to stop this killer. Their reach extends all the way to the FBI, who send their top Abduction Specialist, Agent Emily Parker. Bennett's work life - and love life - suddenly get even more complicated.
Before Bennett has a chance to protest the FBI's intrusion on his case, the mastermind changes his routine. His plan leads up to the most devastating demonstration yet - one that could bring cataclysmic devastation to every inch of New York.

I Love Michael Bennett
Unlike the other 2 reviewers, I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. I found the narrative, with multiple voices and sound effects wholly immersing. If you have read the previous 2 Michael Bennett books 'Step on a Crack' and 'The Teacher' then you'll love this one. The only thing I didn't really like was the romantic plot twist - I won't give it away, but... propinquity isn't everything!

great from the get go
as an Patterson fan, but mainly Alex cross and wmc series. this is a great series and found it excellent. I'm not a fan of some of his churning out, but three guaranteed good series are Alex cross,wmc and the Bennett series.

Too much unnecessary background music!!
I love the Michael Bennett series, but what's with the over the top awful music!! In my view it spoiled an otherwise 5 star performance.

music
The music that played at times was very distracting I was listening to the music not the story.

james patterson- Worst Case
This book is brilliant as always james patterson thrillers are very gripping. I have never read any other author's that I can't put down. The only problem with listening to someof the audio books they have put unnecessary music in them which is really irritating and off putting.

another classic Michael bennett story
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, very well read by all voice artists (despite a hilariously inaccurate Scottish accent that I literally burst into laughter after hearing). Listened to twice now and still got chills...

lovely to listen to!
Niclely narrated and enjoyable to listen to. However the story isn't very memorable and is rather predictable.

accent
why has the Scottish guy got an Irish accent? it veers into something approaching Scottish at times but also Welsh at times
