Worst Case

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, another powerful family uses their leverage and connections to turn up the heat on the mayor, the press – anyone who will listen – to stop this killer. Their reach extends all the way to the FBI, which sends its top Abduction Specialist, Agent Emily Parker. Bennett’s life – and love life – suddenly get more complicated.

Before Bennett has a chance to protest the FBI’s intrusion on his case, the mastermind changes his routine. His plan lead up to the most devastating demonstration yet – one that could bring cataclysmic ruin to every inch of New York City.

The Worst Case by James Patterson is another great detective book. It really deals with the work of a serial killer who is set on kidnapping the children of the powerful and wealthy in New York. Michael Bennett finds himself paired with FBI Agent Emily Parker in their search to try and locate these kids before they are killed or the media turns this into a three ring circus with Bennett and Parker in the center ring.

The only downside I have for this review is the amount of profane language throughout the book. I think this book could have made it’s point without the excessive use of the profanity. It is used to demonstrate the roles of the characters played by the police force in New York city and the street thugs that they find themselves dealing with.

I received this book compliments of Hachette Book Groups, Little, Brown Division and aside from the language I thought the book was amazing!

9th Judgement Giveaway

Detective Lindsay Boxer chases a jewel thief, a murderous movie star, and a killer with a vendetta against women and children.

The Most Personal – A young mother and her infant child are ruthlessly gunned down while returning to their car in the garage of a shopping mall. There are no witnesses, and Detective Lindsay Boxer is left with only one shred of evidence; a cryptic message scrawled across the windshield in bloodred lipstick.

The Most Dangerous – The same night, the wife of an A-list actor Marcus Dowling is woken by a cat burgular who is about to steal millions of dollars’ worth of precious jewels. In just seconds there is a nearly empty safe, a lifeless body, and another mystery that throws San Francisco into hysteria.

In the book, 9^th Judgement by James Patterson, you find yourself in the perfect blend between CSI and Criminal Minds while deciding if the two cases are separate or the same killer. I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book by Hachette Book Groups to review and again, being a fan of this genre, I loved it and would recommend this book for anyone who loves crime and mystery fiction.
