Burn by James Patterson, is the seventh book in the acclaimed Michael Bennet: Detective series. (There are currently seventeen books in this series.)
Detective Michael Bennett returns to New York City to find himself ostracized. He is placed in a non-functioning, politically-driven task force called The Outreach Squad of Harlem.
But troubled cases always seem to follow Detective Bennett. Soon, a street-source tells his new precinct of men in tuxedos and women in evening wear slumming in in abandoned building while tasting the world’s most exquisite cuisine- fresh killed and barbequed human.
Detective Bennett sends a detail out to investigate and that very night his lead investigator is murdered. The NYPD try to push the narrative of the ‘murder’ as a suicide, but the Outreach Squad chooses to take care of their own.
Another AWESOME read.
Written for The New York Times Best Sellers.
