“The dust above must have been doing something to the light, because everything was tinted with a strange, unreal bluish tinge. I walked up the wide sidewalk around a haphazard maze of splintered desks, smashed office chairs, and cracked computer screens. I blinked down at an intact framed bachelor’s degree from Tulane University propped up against the gutter as if someone had placed it there. As I continued my approach, a tall, skinny black bike messenger with a scratched face silently staggered past in the street, covered in a pale-gray coating of dust. Then I came closer and saw something really amazing. People were already up on the mound of debris, a dozen or so people. There were a few uniformed cops, but mostly they were civilians—office workers, a guy in a white doctor’s coat, a loose line of people silently passing down debris and rubble. I climbed up over some chunks of concrete, immediately joining them. As the dry, stale taste of concrete and drywall dust filled my nostrils... and mouth, I accepted a huge hunk of concrete from a short, Italian-looking guy in a ruined pinstriped suit above me.MoreLessShow More Show Less
As all the books by James Patterson, This was great. I really love the Michael Bennett series as I do the Alex Cross & Womans murder club. I have read so many books by Paterson, I've lost count. I can honestly say I have enjoyed every single one. I wish more of the books were turned into movies, like Kiss the girls & Along came a spider.
