Sinossi
Per il detective Michael Bennett doveva essere una tranquilla e rilassante vacanza al mare insieme alla sua numerosa famiglia, ma una telefonata sconvolge i suoi piani, costringendolo a tornare in servizio: qualcuno ha piazzato una bomba nella sede centrale della New York Public Library, accompagnata da un messaggio tanto criptico quanto inquietante. Quando Bennett, profondamente scosso, arriva sul posto, scopre che la faccenda è persino più intricata di quanto pensava: l’ordigno è opera di una mente sofisticata e il messaggio lascia intendere che quella bomba non sarà l’unica. A distanza di qualche giorno vengono rinvenuti due cadaveri all’interno di un’auto, nel Queens. E anche in questo caso viene trovato un biglietto, indirizzato proprio a Michael Bennett. Il killer dice di essere il «Figlio di Sam», l’assassino che ha sconvolto l’America negli anni Settanta. Ma com’è possibile, se è detenuto in un carcere di massima sicurezza? Bennett è sempre più convinto che ci sia un collegamento tra gli omicidi e gli attentati dinamitardi che stanno terrorizzando New York, ma il tempo non dà scampo e il detective dovrà agire più in fretta del killer se vuole evitare altri sanguinosi delitti...

Recensioni
Patterson's books vary hugely in quality but this was one of the good ones! Michael Bennett is growing on me even though I still find the idea of having ten adopted children a bit fanciful! I enjoyed the bad guy in Tick Tock . He is smart, cool and calculating and definitely a challenge for the police Leggi tutto
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!!!!! I have no idea whether the above statement is actually true but I would bet my Kindle on it. This flashy but unsubstantial thriller has movie deal written all over it and has all the pitfalls that a slick blockbuster film would have. First, there is a super-sens Leggi tutto
4.5* Well what an ending! This will be a short review because I want to move on to book five before bed. I really enjoyed the summer non-vacation for Bennett. The crime plot was good but I was more into the family dynamic in this one and interpersonal relationships. My quick and simple overall: great Leggi tutto
This book was my first experience with James Patterson, and is definitely also going to be my last. I got the book from a coworker who claimed it was one of the best books he'd ever read, so I figured I would give it a shot. Holy lord is this bad. Like beyond being it's-so-bad-it's-funny and just str Leggi tutto
Primo thriller di Patterson che leggo ma secondo in generale come suo libro in quanto ho letto anche un Maximum Ride. Mi piace il modo di scrivere di Patterson. Capitoli corti e veloci che ti travolgono nella lettura portandoti a non poter far a meno di continuare. Un altro di quei thriller cui non
Second Read: Another fast-paced thriller from Patterson and company. This is the fourth in the Michael Bennett series about a New York cop who has 10 adopted children. In my opinion, this is one of Patterson's better series. ..a close second to Alex Cross. In this one, Bennett is after a killer who
This is the first I've read of the Michael Bennett series, but I already love it. It was a definite thriller, full of suspense, action, and gore...and that got some getting used to because I don't generally read thrillers. But I loved every second of it, and plan to read the first three before this
Although I've said it before, this may be my last Patterson book. I think the only reason that I bothered to read this one was that I got the full book for free for my Kindle when the book was first posted on Amazon in December. The book is plot driven rather than character driven which generally ma Leggi tutto
Very disappointing for james Patterson. I love most of his books. This one had so much potential and started off good then it kinda just lost it. For a thriller it wasn't very thrilly. I didnt enjoy the case or the characters really. I feel like its not normal patterson work.
I got this one because a detective who has adopted 10 kids sounded different and original and I liked James Patterson. This book has ensured I will only get his books from the library in the future. This was horrid and only got the second star for the originality of having a father of ten since that Leggi tutto
