[Michael Bennett 11] • Ambush

Only Detective Michael Bennett stands in the way of two lethal cartels fighting for New York City’s multi-million-dollar opioid trade. And they know where Bennett, and his family, live.

An anonymous tip about a crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a setup.

An officer is taken down–and, despite the attackers’ efforts, it’s not

Michael Bennett. New York’s top cop is not the only one at risk.

One of Bennett’s children sustains a mysterious injury. And a series of

murders follows, each with a distinct signature, alerting Bennett to

the presence of a professional killer with a flair for disguise.

Bennett taps his best investigators and sources, and they fan out

across the five boroughs. But the leads they’re chasing turn out to be

phantoms. The assassin takes advantage of the chaos, enticing an officer

into compromising Bennett, then luring another member of Bennett’s

family into even graver danger. Michael Bennett can’t tell

what’s driving the assassin. But he can tell it’s personal, and that

it’s part of something huge. Through twist after twist, he fights to

understand exactly how he fits into the killer’s plan, before he becomes

the ultimate victim.**
