Summary
Summary
On the opening night of New York's biggest Hollywood event, special task force NYPD Red is on high alert -- and they can't afford to make a single mistake.
NYPD Red is a special task force charged with protecting the interests of Manhattan's wealthiest and most powerful citizens. When a world-famous movie producer is poisoned on the first day of a Manhattan film festival called Hollywood on the Hudson, they are the first ones called. Then an actor is killed on the set of a film. And a Molotov cocktail explodes at a movie premiere.
Detective First Grade Zach Jordan and his new partner-and ex-girlfriend-Detective Kylie MacDonald are assigned to the case. The killer has every murder, every escape, planned down to the last detail-and he's scripted an explosive finale that will bring New York and Hollywood to its knees. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, NYPD Red is a mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." ( Time ).

Library Journal Review
Mega-best-selling author Patterson returns with another fast-paced thriller set against the backdrop of New York City. Co-author Karp (with Patterson, Kill Me If You Can) helps serve up typical Patterson drama with a serial killer on the loose and a cop at the top of his game determined to take the killer down. Detective Zach Jordan and his ex-girlfriend and fellow detective Kylie MacDonald are part of NYPD Red, a special task force assigned to cover the Hollywood on the Hudson festival. Unfortunately, an unknown and unstable actor decides to use the event to steal the spotlight from the rich and famous by committing horrific high-profile crimes. VERDICT Actor Edoardo Ballerini, a 2013 Audie Award nominee, reads, adding tension and suspense. Patterson does not depart from what has made him the top-selling author he is today. NYPD Red has a hero to root for, a devious villain, and lots of action. Patterson fans will enjoy. [The Little, Brown hc was a New York Times best seller.-Ed.]-Theresa Horn, St. Joseph Cty.
