Ambush

  • (Michael Bennett 11). A pulse-pounding New York crime thriller

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ambush by James Patterson, read by Danny Mastrogiorgio.

From the author of Sunday Times no. 1 bestseller, The President is Missing.

Detective Michael Bennett's enemies know where to find him.

An anonymous tip about crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a setup. An officer is taken down - but despite the attackers' efforts, it's not Michael Bennett.

New York's top cop is not the only one at risk.

One of Bennett's children is attacked. And a series of murders follows, each with a distinct signature, alerting Bennett to the presence of a professional killer.

Bennett can't tell what's driving the assassin.

But he can tell it's personal.
