First Sentence: My phone chirped, and I looked down at the gray text bubble on my screen.
Blurb: Finding a single assassin in a city of nine million people is daunting. Finding five is a nightmare.
Lower Manhattan: A sniper's bullet ends the life of a high-profile New Yorker. Five miles uptown, a second prominent victim has his throat slashed.
And that's only the beginning. A network of professional assassins is on the loose in New York City. Trained by the US military, they're on their own now, with a new unit called Kappa Omega Delta. Killers On Demand. NYPD Red detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan are called in to hunt them down, but these mercenaries are as gifted in the art of escape as they are in snuffing out lives.
It's the biggest professional challenge the Red team has ever faced, and before it's over, both Kylie's and Zach's personal lives will change. Forever. (GoodReads)
My Opinion: When I read a book title, I try to guess what the narrative will be about. I was way off on this one. The cover is a little misleading. The previous books in this series were a collaboration between Marshall Karp and James Patterson. This book is all Karp with a blurb on the front from Patterson -- of course, his name is in large font -- but only to tell the readers that he is excited to read the book without knowing the ending. Since this book does not skip a beat, the writing team is ok with missing one of the bit players.
I enjoy this easy-to-read series. There is humor, twists, and characters that are enjoyable to follow. One of the main twists, which is a bit out of left field, leaves the reader hoping that there will be more to the story and they will become a recurring character.
