The police and city mayors always have tense relationships, sometimes putting them at odds. But the New York City major now sees Michael Bennett as a discreet investigation for with family worries of his own. Just one father helping another.

My detective leaps into the case of the major’s missing daughter, Natalie, and sources lead him to a homicide in the Bronx. The victim has ties to a sophisticated hacking operation but also to the mayor’s missing daughter, Natalie, a computer prodigy. The murder is part of a serial-killing spree, one with national security implications. And suddenly Bennett is at the center of a dangerous triangle anchored by NYPD, FBI, and a transnational criminal organization. Michael Bennett has always been an honorable man, but sometimes ¬– when the lives of innocents are at stake – honor has to take a back seat. Survival comes first.
