Blindside (A Michael Bennett Thriller #12) (Paperback) James Patterson & James O. Born

Book 12 of 16: Michael Bennett The police and city mayors always have tense relationships, sometimes putting them at odds. But the New York City mayor now sees Michael Bennett as a discreet investigator with family worries of his own. Just one father helping another. My detective leaps into the case of the mayor's missing daughter, Natalie, and sources lead him to a homicide in the Bronx. The victim had ties not only to a sophisticated hacking operation but also to Natalie, a computer prodigy. The murder is part of a serial-killing spree, one with national security implications. And suddenly Bennett is at the center of a dangerous triangle anchored by the NYPD, the FBI, and a transnational criminal organization. Michael Bennett has always been one of my more honorable men, but sometimes--when the lives of innocents are at stake--honor has to take a back seat. Survival comes first. March 2024
