With I, Michael Bennett, the latest in the series, Patterson and co-author Michael Ledwidge have crafted a volatile, lightning-paced summer read where the 2 branches of Bennett’s life collide and also with violent repercussions.
Police officers shot, judges murdered, and Detective Michael Bennett is the killer’s next target. Detective Michael Bennett arrests an notorious Mexican crime lord in a deadly chase that renders Bennett’s lifelong buddy dead. From prison, the prisoner promises to rain epic violence down upon New York City-and to get revenge on Michael Bennett.
To escape the chaos, Bennett takes his ten children and their lovely nanny, Mary Catherine, on a much-needed vacation to his family’s cottage near Newburgh, New York. But instead of this calm and joyful city he remembers from growing up, they step into a nightmare worse than they might have ever envisioned. Newburgh is an inferno of warring gangs, and there’s little the police-or Bennett-can do to help keep the kids safe.
As violence overwhelms the nation, Bennett is torn between protecting his hometown and saving New York City. A spouse in his investigations, national prosecutor Tara McLellan, brings him new weapons for the battle-and an appeal that endangers his connection with Mary Catherine. A no holds barred, pedal to the floor, action-packed novel, I, Michael Bennett is James Patterson at his most personal and most thrilling finest.
