About this listen

In this heart-pounding novel from the world’s #1 bestselling author, Detective Michael Bennett faces a sinister foe on New York City's holiest ground.

During a state funeral for a former First Lady, armed men disguised as monks seize St. Patrick's Cathedral and take the high-profile hostages ransom.

NYPD officer Michael Bennett steps into the dangerous role of lead negotiator in the standoff.

The city is relying on this humble hero.

So is his family. Bennett and his ten adopted children are facing a devastating loss at home.

As the world watches and the tension boils to a searing heat, Bennett must find a way to rescue them all.

"Totally gripping and downright impossible to put down...Patterson has a knack for creating genuinely likable heroes, and Michael Bennett fits the bill." —Booklist


"NYPD Detective Michael Bennett is something of a living legend...a master homicide investigator...a devoted dad...balancing his personal and professional lives is always an epic challenge." —Deadline Hollywood

Critic Reviews

In these post-9/11 days, Ledwidge and Patterson's scenario seems all too credible. Narrators John Slattery and Reg Rogers create throughly believable hostages and hostage-takers, and are especially effective voicing the beleaguered cop, hijacker " Jack, " and the reptilian villain, " The Neat Man. " Occasional music and sound effects don't add much , but short, intense chapters make it impossible to stop listening to this well crafted story.—Audio File
