A serial killer is taking out cops in NYC. Could Detective Michael Bennett be next? Michael Bennett says a prayer every time he witnesses a death. In his line of work, it happens too often. But lately he's attended so many police funerals that his deepening sadness is crossing into the zone of suspicion. Bennett must find the person responsible for the deaths of his friends - before he becomes their next target. With a new baby on the way, Bennett's protective instincts - as a father, a colleague and a detective - have never faced a bigger test. _____________________________________PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON'It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer . . .
