The scene is set for a huge funeral in St Patrick's Cathedral in New York. The rich and the famous from all over America and beyond have arrived to honour a former First Lady after her sudden, unexpected death.

Then follows an attack that was three years in the planning. Hostages are taken—the ex-President among them—ransoms demanded, a couple of hostages shot to show the kidnappers mean business.

It's all brilliantly and chillingly co-ordinated, and Michael Bennett, the detective in charge of the case, knows it will be his biggest ever challenge.

Step on a Crack by Michael Ledwidge and James Patterson offers a thrilling narrative set in a backdrop of suspense and danger.
