The sixteenth thrilling instalment in the globally bestselling Michael Bennett series. _________________________________________________________ How do you catch a killer who leaves no trace? In New York City, a sniper dubbed 'The Longshot Killer' is taking out impossible targets. Nothing links the victims - except the brutal circumstances of their deaths. Detective Michael Bennett quickly develops a profile of the killer. Great with a gun. Probably ex-military. A profile that his new partner, Rob Trilling, fits to a terrifying degree. With Trilling taking ever more suspicious absences from duty, Bennett must find out the truth - before the Longshot Killer strikes again. _____________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON 'It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ...
