Product Description
Best case: survival

The son of one of New York's wealthiest families is snatched off the street and held hostage. His parents can't save him, because this kidnapper isn't demanding money. Instead, he quizzes his prisoner on the price others pay for his life of luxury. In this exam, wrong answers are fatal.

Worst case: death

Detective Michael Bennett leads the investigation. With ten kids of his own, he can't begin to understand what could lead someone to target anyone's children. As another student disappears, one powerful family after another uses their leverage and connections to turn the heat up on the mayor, the press--anyone who will listen--to stop this killer. Their reach extends all the way to the FBI, who send their top Abduction Specialist, Agent Emily Parker. Bennett's life--and love life--suddenly get even more complicated.

This case: Detective Michael Bennett is on it

Before Bennett has a chance to protest the FBI's intrusion on his case, the mastermind changes his routine. His plan leads up to the most devastating demonstration yet--one that could bring cataclysmic devastation to every inch of New York. From the shocking first page to the last exhilarating scene, Worst Case is a non-stop thriller from "America's #1 storyteller" (Forbes).

5 out of 5 stars juicy   August 19, 2010
Gloria L. Few (Atlanta, GA USA)
Can't wait to find out what is going to happen between Michael and the nanny. Hmmm.

Michael and others in this series from James Patterson are quickly becoming my favorites. I miss the Alex Cross of old. Swiftly taking Alex's place are Michael, the priest uncles, cute children and sexy nanny.

In this latest edition to the James Patterson arensenal, Francis X Mooney is a misguided do-gooder. And I call him this because he really wants to do the right thing, but his methods are not so great. He is kidnapping the children of the uber rich and engaging them into a game of his own in attempt to ascertain their concern for environmental issues. Answers to his question prompt responses from him.

The book is a murder mystery, not so much mysterious as a display of murderous intentions aimed at the heartstrings of the 60s and 70s hippies.

The story is solid and the writing is clear. There is murder and mayhem as well as intrigue. Will Michael succumb to pretty new detective who will partner with him on this crime? Or what is going to happen between Michael and the nanny? <--- Perhaps that's the mystery.



4 out of 5 stars Interesting twist to the serial killer   August 17, 2010
Adam Jordan Siegel
Overall the book was good. The charachters develop nicely with only one dissapointment from my perspective about the subplot build up and then resolution to the two main charachters. It was fun to read and has me looking for a new Patterson book to pick up next.
