NYPD Red's finest detectives are about to investigate a brutal crime
scene in Central Park . . . but even their training can't prepare them
for the biggest case of their careers.
When NYPD Red arrives at a crime scene, everyone takes notice. Known as
the protectors of the rich, famous, and connected, NYPD Red is the elite
task force called in only for New York City's most high-profile crimes.
And Detective Zach Jordan is the best of the best, a brilliant and
relentless pursuer of justice. He puts professionalism above all,
ignoring his feelings for his partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald, the
woman who broke his heart when they first met in the academy.
But even with their top-notch training, Zach and Kylie aren't prepared
for what they see when they're called to a crime scene in the heart of
Central Park. They arrive to find a carousel spinning round and round,
its painted horses grinning eerily in the early morning dark. There is
only one rider: a brutally slaughtered woman, her body tied up and
dressed in a Hazmat suit, on display for the world to see.
The victim, a woman of vast wealth and even greater connections, is the
fourth in a string of shocking murders that have hit the city. As the
public pressure mounts, and political and personal secrets of the
highest order hang in the balance, Zach and Kylie must find out what's
really behind the murderer's rampage. But Kylie has been acting strange
recently-and Zach knows whatever she's hiding could threaten the biggest
case of their careers.
NYPD Red 2 is the next outstanding novel in James Patterson's newest
series, a thriller that careens through New York City and deep into the
psyche of a depraved killer you've never seen before.
