I think James Patterson is okay although for some reason I absolutely hate his Alex Cross series. With Mr. Patterson's writing I am either totally hooked from the first page or I can not even finish the first chapter. I have never read any other books by Michael Ledwidge.
Synopsis: With the unexpected death of a beloved former first lady, the nation falls into mourning as the world's most powerful people gather in New York for her funeral. Then the inconceivable occurs. Billionaires, politicians, and superstars of every kind are suddenly trapped by one man's brilliant and ruthless scenario.
NOW MEET DETECTIVE MICHAEL BENNETT, NYPD
Pulled into the fray, Detective Michael Bennett-father of ten-faces the most sinister challenge of his career: a criminal who kills without hesitation and counters everything the NYPD and FBI throw at him with impunity. As New York descends into chaos, Bennett learns that the great love of his life, his wife, is battling a terrible disease and he may have to raise their children alone. Now with the entire world watching and the tension reaching a boiling point, Bennett must quickly find a way out-or become responsible for the greatest debacle in history.

My Opinion: This book was very good. I liked the hero and his family. The villains could have been described a little more in depth, but this book is not really about them. Michael Bennett is a guy you feel sorry for, at one point in the book I even cried for him. This is definately one of James Pattersons better yet not as widely recognized books. I had never heard of this book until I seen it at a local bookstore. I would definately recommend reading this book. I prepared a comfy spot and read all 310 pages in one sitting. Kudos to these two writers for bringing this touching and entertaining story. I give it a 4/5.
