This novel by James Patterson was an interesting mystery story. Set in New York city in the 80's political figures and members of the police force are trying to figure out the members involved in various terrorist attacks and bombings in the city. I liked his writing style, and how there were plenty of clues and red herrings to keep me interested and invested in solving the mystery. (

I am giving this book a 3 because I like James Patterson alot but I did not like this book too much. It was hard to get into and it was just not like his other books at all... (
