  THE NEW DETECTIVE MICHAEL BENNETT THRILLER

  Ambush

  James Patterson & James O. Born

  Detective Michael Bennett’s enemies know where to find him.

  An anonymous tip about a crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a set up. An officer is taken down – but despite the attackers’ efforts, it’s not Michael Bennett.

  New York’s top cop is not the only one at risk.

  One of Bennett’s children is attacked. And a series of murders follows, each with a distinct signature, alerting Bennett to the presence of a professional killer.

  Bennett can’t tell what’s driving the assassin.

  But he can tell it’s personal.
