As Michael Bennett's wedding day approaches, a killer has a vow of his own to fulfil in the thirteenth thriller featuring the NYPD's finest detective

Weeks before NYPD Detective Michael Bennett is to marry his long-time love, Mary Catherine, an assassin announces their presence in the city with a string of murders.

All of the victims are young women, and each has been killed in a manner as precise as it was gruesome.

Tasked with working alongside the FBI, Bennett uncovers multiple cold-case homicides across the country that fit the same distinctive pattern.

He promises Mary Catherine that the case won't affect their upcoming wedding, but, as he struggles to connect the killings, Bennett may be walking into a deadly trap.

I like all of these Michael Bennet books - have listened to 13 so far !
The very first narrator, John Slattery, seemed to me to suit Michael Bennet beautifully.
Started getting used to Bobby Cannavale book 2 to book 5
then ANOTHER narrator Danny Mastrogiorgio who I liked better than Bobby for books 6 to 12.
Shocker for No. 13 yet another Michael Bennet. Ii'm sure that Ari Fliakos is a good narrator but
Michael Bennet he is not.
Now I see that No 14 and 15 have Joshua Kane.
I think I will give them a miss.
Wonder why John Slattery didn't do all of them, now THAT would have been fabulous.

A narrator can make or break a story. Even a James Patterson story.
