Ambush – Michael Bennett Book 11 – James Patterson: Only Detective Michael Bennett stands in the way of 2 deadly cartels fighting New York City’s multi-million-dollar opioid trade. And they understand where he and his family reside. An officer is carried down and, regardless of the attackers’ attempts, it is not Michael Bennett.
New York’s top cop isn’t the only one at risk. One of Bennett’s children sustains a mysterious accident. And a series of murders follows, each having a distinct touch, alerting Bennett to the existence of a professional killer with a dash for disguise.
Bennett taps his best investigators and sources, and they fan out over the five boroughs. However, the prospects they are chasing turn out to be phantoms. The assassin benefit from this chaos, enticing an officer into compromising Bennett, then luring a different member of Bennett’s family to graver danger.
Michael Bennett can not tell what’s forcing the assassin. However he can tell it’s personal, and that it’s part of something enormous. Through twist after twist, he struggles to understand exactly how he fits into the killer’s plan, before he becomes the best victim.
The Michael Bennett novels comprise one of James Patterson’s most intriguing series. This was due in part to Bennett’s backstory, which is made up of the balancing act between his personal and professional lives.
AMBUSH, the latest installment and the moment using worthy co-author James O. Born, is one of the best to date. The focus is less on a puzzle and more on Bennett himself, who is the target of an extremely capable and dangerous assassin.
AMBUSH provides enough action and twists to fill a few novels, and even contains a short Michael Bennett narrative titled “Manhunt.” The novella begins with a devastating terror assault during New York’s Thanksgiving Day parade and pairs Bennett with Darya Kuznetsova, his enigmatic and interesting Russian counterpart. This kind of attack cannot go unanswered, and part of the response entails Bennett and Kuznetsova at a race against time to capture the doer before he can strike again. The investigation contributes to some unusual alliances and ultimately sets up the possibility to get a return appearance of Kuznetsova sometime in the future.
Patterson and Born, together with two books in 1 book, go above and beyond the goal of giving readers their money’s worth.
