Publisher Description
One by one, the children of New York's wealthiest citizens are being taken hostage. But the criminal doesn't crave money or power. He only wants to ask the elite if they know the price others pay for their luxurious lifestyles. And, if they don't, he corrects their ignorance by killing his prisoner.
With ten kids of his own, Detective Michael Bennett can't begin to understand what could lead someone to target anyone's children. What is clear is that these murders are linked and must be part of a greater, more public demonstration. As the city is thrown into chaos, Bennett teams up with an FBI abduction specialist, Agent Emily Parker, to capture the killer before he begins his most devastating demonstration yet. One that could bring cataclysmic devastation to every inch of New York.

"I much prefer the Michael Bennett series now as compared to the Alex Cross ones, which have gone in a bad direction - written too fast, too bloody and the worst! This novel has nice character development, or as good as the author gets. Very interesting story line and very fast paced."
