New York City detective Michael Bennett faces his most terrifying killer ever. It could be anyone. They could be anywhere.
A sniper dubbed “The Long Shot Killer” is taking out impossible targets in New York City.
As the unknown shooter’s hit list mounts, Detective Michael Bennett calls for reinforcements.
Officer Rob Trilling doesn’t like to talk about himself. But he has an impressive resume as a former Army Ranger who’s won a Bronze Star and recognition as a sniper with NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit.
Bennett struggles to connect with the soldier, barely older than his own ten kids, especially when Trilling begins to log unexplained absences from duty.
Trilling may be more comfortable with rifles than he is with people, but only Bennett can prove whether his partner is a lonely hunter or a hardened assassin.

The latest in the Michael Bennett series from James Patterson and James O. Born comes out on Feb 12. I received an arch of this novel from NetGalley. Thank you to them, the publisher and the authors. This is my honest review.
It follows Michael Bennett, a NYPD homicide detective, as he tries to solve a series of murders that have been happening by a serial killer with a sniper rifle. A member of the FBI, Rob Trilling, is brought on to help him. Michael finds Trilling to be a quiet, respectful young man, but he can't really read him. Together they try to bring the killer to justice.
This was a terrific 5-star read! The characters were compelling and well thought out. It delved into PTSD somewhat and what a soldier's life can be like as they try to integrate back into society after the military. Michael's family was lively and fun, and I enjoy Patterson's style of writing. It's easy to read, and the chapters are short enough to be read at bedtime.
If you like a good murder mystery with a satisfying plot, then check this out. Even if you have never read one of the Michael Bennett series, it's easy to get into and you don't need to have read the others to enjoy it.
