Synopsis As a now-single father of 10 (his wife's recent death still causes pain), Detective Michael Bennett cannot understand what would possess a person to go after another's child, when the fight is with the parents. That is, however, exactly what is happening in New York: someone is kidnapping the children of rich families, but mysteriously never demanding any ransom. To Bennett's chagrin, the FBI shoulders in on Bennett's action due to the high profile nature of the case, but that does have the advantage of bringing the attractive Emily Parker onto the scene. Compelled as strongly by his sense of justice as by his instincts as a parent, Bennett works tirelessly on this case, but the perpetrator's motives and methods remain daring and dangerous to the very thrilling end of bestseller James Patterson's WORST CASE.

By the best-selling author of Step on a Crack. Simultaneous.

To Detective Michael Bennett, it becomes clear that these murders are linked and must be part of a greater, more public demonstration. With the city thrown into chaos, he is forced to team up with FBI agent Emily Parker, and the two set out to capture the killer before he begins his most public lesson yet--a deadly message for the entire city to witness.
