Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

After returning from his honeymoon, Detective Michael Bennett is greeted with the shocking news that FBI agent Emily Parker is missing.

Determined to track down his former partner, Bennett follows Emily's investigation into an anarchist group that led her between Los Angeles, New York and Washington, DC.

Lurid rumours begin to surface about Emily's disappearance, but Bennett will never give up hope of finding her.

After everything they've been through together, he owes her that much.

Not my favourite narrator

Really good story. Just not my favourite narrator.
It’s relatively a straight forward formula novel. Not his best, but still worth it

Not the usual standard but worth a listen

I have loved the previous Michael Bennett novels but found this one to be overly sentimental and slushy. The story was ok but a touch predictable, I still enjoyed it though. The narrator did his best but Danny is the true voice of Michael Bennett!

Where is Danny Mastrogiorgio?!

A typical Michael Bennett book.

Generally well read, but the narration is very cringe with exaggerated inflection throughout... Where has Danny Mastrogiorgio gone? To me, he is the true voice of Michael Bennett.

Only ok

What happened to the voice of Michael Bennett - Danny Mastrogiogio? Simply not as good with this narrator who mispronounces words and gets inflection very wrong.
Not the best in the series by a long way - I got the murderer quickly.

Mickey Spillane's worst is better than this effort

Naive and juvenile work. I won't be buying any more Patterson/Michael Bennett ghost written trash. The narrator's attempt at an Irish accent is an affront to his Northern Irish ancestors. Joshua Kane should listen to real Irish speakers and practise the accent.
