About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The mayor of New York has a daughter who's missing. Detective Michael Bennett has a son who's in prison. Can one father help the other?


Bennett and the mayor have always had a tense relationship, but now the mayor sees in Bennett an exceptional investigator who might be willing to take on a case that needs to be kept under the radar. The two men strike the deal.

Sources lead Bennett to a homicide in the Bronx. The victim has ties to a sophisticated hacking operation - and also to the mayor's missing daughter. But this murder is part of a serial killing spree, one with national security implications. And suddenly Bennett is at the centre of a dangerous triangle anchored by NYPD, FBI and an international crime organization.

Michael Bennett has always been an honourable man, but sometimes honour has to take a back seat. Survival comes first.

A bit of a let down. Listened to all the series and this just didn’t grip me in any way. I love the family aspect of the stories and possibly this is why I didn’t enjoy this one as there was very little of that in it.

Not my favourite Michael Bennett

I was not greatly motivated to finish this one. Not very compelling, kept to a narrow storyline. I appreciate the narrator was trying to do a gumshoe type delivery, but had a monotonous and flat intonation the whole way through.

Must try harder!
