4.5 Oh, this was so much fun!

It has been ages since I last read a page-turning suspense novel. Forty years ago, I devoured them all. Now, I just get them for my husband.

We began this as an audio book in the car. It sounded like a play, complete with real gunshots, sirens, music, and other sound effects. If I had been driving, it would have completely unnerved me!

I have never read Patterson before, but I was so thrilled with Gross's "The One Man" that I wanted to give this a try. For me, it had a fast-paced Saturday matinee kind of feeling. With over 100 chapters, all of them cliffhangers full of fun!

For its genre, I totally enjoyed this mobster romp and stomp around the world. It was an exciting and engaging read that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good suspense novel.

Patterson Does It Again!!!


Nick Pellisante, an FBI agent, had been doggedly pursuing Cavello, the menacing boss of a Mafia crime family, for several long years. Finally, they managed to apprehend him. Nick was certain that Cavello was going to spend the rest of his life behind bars, especially considering he had brutally murdered two of Nick's fellow agents. But what could potentially go wrong? Nick was well aware that Cavello was not to be trusted.

Andie, a single mom and an actress, really didn't relish the idea of serving on the jury, yet she felt it was her civic duty. Cavello, with his usual bravado, taunted Nick, boldly proclaiming that he would never set foot in prison. The question loomed: would Cavello manage to influence the jury? Cavello was infamous for his sadistic and heartless murders that had spanned many years. Everyone lived in fear of him due to his utter lack of compassion and extreme cruelty. So, what could possibly derail the seemingly inevitable outcome? Would Cavello somehow escape justice, or would Nick finally see him locked away for good?

The plot of this story was pure genius. As always, Patterson had the reader completely engrossed, sitting on the edge of their seats throughout the entire book.
