Police officers shot . . . judges murdered . . . and Detective Michael Bennett is the killer's next target. Detective Michael Bennett arrests an infamous Mexican crime lord in a deadly chase that leaves Bennett's lifelong friend dead. From jail, the prisoner vows to rain epic violence down upon New York City-and to get revenge on Michael Bennett. To escape the chaos, Bennett takes his ten kids and their beautiful nanny, Mary Catherine, on a much-needed vacation to his family's cabin near Newburgh, New York. But instead of the calm and happy town he remembers from growing up, they step into a nightmare worse than they could have ever imagined. Newburgh is an inferno of warring gangs, and there's little the police-or Bennett-can do to keep the children safe. As violence overwhelms the state, Bennett is torn between protecting his hometown and saving New York City. A partner in his investigations, federal prosecutor Tara McLellan, brings him new weapons for the battle-and an attraction that endangers his relationship with Mary Catherine. A no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-floor, action-packed novel, I, Michael Bennett is James Patterson at his most personal and most thrilling best.
The ending sucks and to my knowledge there is no sequal to it! One would think Burn would be it, but no!
I, Michael Bennett, a big disappointment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
Michael Bennett is supposed to be New York's best detective. Not only does he not catch the bad guy, but he is completely surprised a crazy crime lord would come after him, his friends and his family. Really? He does nothing super or extraordinary in the book. I was very disappointed that not only can he not help catch the bad guy after he escapes, but he, his family and nanny have to go into witness protection and that is how the book ends.
