Large print - 2013

"A crime lord has declared war on America. Only Detective Michael Bennett knows why. Manuel Perrine doesn't fear anyone or anything. A charismatic and ruthless leader, Perrine slaughters rivals as effortlessly as he wears his trademark white linen suit. Detective Michael Bennett once managed to put Perrine behind bars, the only official in the US ever to accomplish that. But now Perrine is out, and he has sworn to find and kill Bennett and everyone dear to him. Detective Bennett, along with his ten adopted children, their nanny, and his grandfather, are hidden safely on a rural California farm, with guards courtesy of the FBI's witness protection program. Perrine begins to embark on an escalating series of assassinations acro...ss the country, killings whose brazenness and audacity bring into question the possibility of safety and law in the US. The FBI has no choice but to ask Detective Bennett to risk it all in Perrine's war on America."-- Provided by publisher.

Review by Library Journal Review

Patterson and Ledwidge (I, Michael Bennett) puts Michael Bennett and his family in the crosshairs of brutal killer Manuel Perrine. Bennett, his ten adopted children, and his grandfather are in hiding, but when Perrine ramps up his villainy, Bennett is called into action. Danny Mastrogiorgio and Henry Leyva do an excellent job reading the book. They capture the menacing voice and Mexican accent of Perrine and the fearful pleading of his tortured victims. Sound effects add drama and excitement to the listening experience. Verdict Recommended for Patterson and Bennett fans and patrons who enjoy a suspenseful thriller.-Ilka Gordon, Aaron Garber Lib., Cleveland (c) Copyright 2014.
