Crosshairs

In the latest thrilling novel from the globally bestselling author James Patterson, Crosshairs, Detective Michael Bennett faces one of his most challenging cases yet. A sniper on the loose in New York City, dubbed 'The Longshot Killer,' is taking down seemingly impossible targets with chilling precision. With no apparent links between the victims except the brutal circumstances of their deaths, the city is in a state of high alert.

As Detective Michael Bennett diligently investigates, he quickly crafts a profile of the ruthless killer. The suspect is a sharpshooter, most likely with a military background. This rapidly evolving profile starts hitting uncomfortably close to home when Bennett's new partner, Rob Trilling, begins exhibiting suspicious behaviour and taking unexplained absences from duty. The parallels between the profile and Trilling's skills are too striking to ignore.

With mounting evidence and the city's safety on the line, Bennett is in a race against time to uncover the killer's identity and motives. Trust becomes a precious commodity as he navigates through a web of uncertainty and deception. Can Bennett expose the truth before the Longshot Killer strikes his next target?

The sixteenth thrilling instalment in the Michael Bennett series, Crosshairs combines Patterson's keen storytelling prowess and heart-pounding suspense that will leave readers on the edge of their seats.
