Product Description
A calculating killer who calls himself The Teacher is taking on New York City, killing the powerful and the arrogant. His message is clear: remember your manners or suffer the consequences! For some, it seems that the rich are finally getting what they deserve. For New York's elite, it is a call to terror.
Only one man can tackle such a high-profile case: Detective Mike Bennett. The pressure is enough for anyone, but Mike also has to care for his 10 children-all of whom have come down with virulent flu at once!
Discovering a secret pattern in The Teacher's lessons, Detective Bennett realizes he has just hours to save New York from the greatest disaster in its history. From the #1 bestselling author comes RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, the continuation of his newest, electrifying series.

This book is a very quick read. It has the short chapters Patterson in known for and cliff hanger endings to the chapters that keep your interest and propel you forward in the book.

• What A Poor Read!
21 January, 2010
I have always been excited when the next Patterson book comes out, but I was very disappointed because this was the worst. I reads like it was written by a 13 year old. Poor dialog, poor plot. Don't waste your time on this one.

• Deception Is The Art Of War
11 February, 2010
The second book in this new urban series has been fun and entertaining; I especially liked the New York feel to it. Many books take place somewhere but they don't feel attached to the ground the characters walk on, here the places and situations feel realistic enough and since I live in New York it was nice to see it at the story's core.
Even though this novel has a co-author, Patterson still sticks to his favorite formula, the good noble cop on the case after a mastermind with a plan and even a name, sometimes his stories have a movie feel to them since they are so out of the ordinary. This time the nemesis is a classy guy (or so it seems) who wants to teach those who have wronged him a harsh lesson, he's not your typical bum with a gun, he's someone who has money and skills but serious problems in his unraveling noggin. The avalanche of deaths shock anyone who sets foot in Manhattan, as random as they seem a trail appears- it's a tread that Mike Bennett will try to hang onto in order to solve the crime. Hot on pursuit he gets closer to the killer than he would have liked and suddenly his own future has a grim cast to it. The bad guy knows who he is and he wants to include Mike in his sick little game. The action is pretty fast and the clues interesting enough to keep the reader interested. I enjoyed discovering the crimes and tracking the bad guy, he was one of those war/tactic obsessed people that made the thriller even more thrilling. His skill was blending in and to top it off he made it a very psychological battle, appearing somewhere else than was suspected, playing tricks, and giving the reader a nice twist in the end, nothing jaw dropping but still not too bad. I also liked how the bad guy was relentless, he was impossible to get rid of, which is good, I can't stand 2 page endings where the build up magically resolves in a paragraph.

• Love The Michael Bennett Series
15 February, 2010
Alex Cross and Michael Bennett are two fictional characters I look forward to every year. Patterson, and in this case, Patterson and Ledwidge have created a wonderful detective in M.B. Some time ago I wrote how Alex Cross's family was too cutesy and interfered with some of the stories Patterson was telling. Ten years later, I cannot say the same about the Bennett series. This detective's home life makes the story all that more real. The cast of "home" characters including the children are great. Worst Case just got released and I am thoroughly looking forward to sitting down with it as soon as I can to read the further adventures of the Bennett family (and the no-doubt page-turning mystery at hand).
