Product Description:
Detective Michael Bennett is about to take on the most sinister challenge of his career. The nation has fallen into mourning after the unexpected death of a beloved former first lady, and the most powerful people in the world gather in New York for her funeral. Then the inconceivable occurs. Billionaires, politicians, and superstars of every kind are suddenly trapped within one man's brilliant and ruthless scenario. Bennett--father of ten--is pulled into the fray. As the danger escalates, Michael is hit with devastating news. After fighting for many years, his wife has succumbed to a terrible disease. As New York descends into chaos, he has lost the great love of his life and faces raising his ten devastated children alone--and rescuing 34 hostages. Day after day, Bennett confronts the most ruthless man he has ever dealt with, a man who kills without hesitation and counters everything the NYPD and FBI throw at him with impunity. As the entire world watches and the tension boils to a searing heat, Bennett has to find a way out--or face responsibility for the greatest debacle in history.

This is probably the fifth Patterson book I've read since I discovered him at JFK Airport on my way to Cancun. He's continuously engrossing and captivating in his tales and through the personalities of the characters he creates. In "Step on a Crack", though, I feel he's mastered his skills. This is by far my favorite James Patterson book yet and cannot wait to read "Run While you Can" when it's released in Feb.

I was forced to read this book for a summer reading project. the size of the book was daunting and i procrastinated on reading it. when i finally got around to it and opened the book i could not put it down. there are no really slow parts in the book everytime it starts to get boring the lead hijacker does something else to pull you to the edge of your seat. looking at all the poor detective has to deal with makes you feel sorry for him, but no matter how bad things get he always stays on top ...

Step on a Crack has all the requisite ingredients for a suspense/thriller. We have NYPD Detective Michael Bennett a quick thinking, analytical and in this instance somewhat sympathetic hero, we have the ominous "neat man" an obsessive/compulsive who is the brains behind the ransom plan and whose true identity is somewhat surprising, we have the usual number of unlikable characters (some of them celebrity hostages that you would not be sorry to see killed off), and then we have the peripheral story ...
