I, Michael Bennett: (Michael Bennett 5). New York’s top detective becomes a crime lord’s top target [Hardcover] Patterson, James

NYPD detective Michael Bennett just took down one of New York's most violent crime families — and now he's public enemy number one. The cartel wants revenge, and they're not subtle about it. Bennett's got ten kids to protect, a city that won't stop bleeding, and a target on his back the size of Manhattan. Patterson cranks the tension to breaking point as Bennett juggles family chaos with cartel warfare, dodging bullets in both his home life and the streets. This is the fifth in the Michael Bennett series, but it reads standalone if you want to jump straight into the chaos. Fast, brutal, and relentlessly paced — exactly what you'd expect from Patterson. Perfect for anyone who likes their crime fiction served at sprint-speed with a side of paternal panic.
