Product Description

Product Description

The world’s most powerful people have gathered in St Patrick’s Cathedral, New York, to mourn the unexpected death of a former first lady. Then suddenly they find themselves trapped within one man’s brilliant and ruthless scheme.


 


Detective Michael Bennett – father of ten – is pulled in to the fray. But as the danger escalates, Michael is hit with devastating news – his beloved wife has lost her battle against cancer. Grief-stricken, he has no choice but to carry on and try to save the 34 hostages – and raise his ten children.

With the entire world watching and the tension boiling to a searing heat, Bennett must face the most ruthless man he has ever dealt with – or face for the greatest debacle in history.

Waste of Paper 23 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover
What a dissapointment The story is completely linear and without twist or suspense, the characters are one dimensional and formulaic and the ending is not a twist - it is an after thought.

The use of the dying wife and 10 children to provide emotional content adds nothing to the story, indeed it does not even really intrude into the main story at all, no dramatic tension is brought and frankly I found the manipulative way in which it is written to be insulting.

Entertaining Read 17 Oct 2008
By K. Dyer
Format:Paperback
I am really suprised by the negative reviews. I was recommended this book by a friend and although at first i was a bit dubious as i am normally a chick lit lover i was thoroughly engrossed from the first page and sped through it in a couple of days. I look forward to reading the 6th Target which has also been recommended.
