Book description
It's the start of the Hollywood on Hudson film festival, and New York
City is swept up in the glamour. There's a red carpet premiere every
night; the most exclusive restaurants are filled with wealthy
producers and pre-eminent directors; and thousands of fans gather with
the paparazzi, hoping to catch a glimpse of the most famous and
beautiful faces in the world. With so many celebrities in town,
special task force NYPD Red is on high alert - and it can't afford to
make a single mistake.
Then a world-renowned producer fatally collapses at his power
breakfast, and top NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan is the first one on
the scene. Zach works with his beautiful new partner, Detective Kylie
MacDonald - who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend - to discover who
the killer might be. But this is only the beginning: the most brutal,
public, and horrifyingly spectacular crimes they've ever encountered
are about to send all of New York into chaos, putting NYPD Red on the ropes.
Zach and Kylie know there's no way of telling what a killer this
deranged will do next. With the whole world watching, they have to
find a way to stop a psychopath who has scripted his finale down to
the last explosive detail.
