I received this book in the mail last week after a short drought from the James Patterson Library. Not because Mr. Prolific Writer hadn't published anything, but because I forgot to change my credit card number on my account when I was issued a new card this summer. Oops. I ended up missing out on three books because of that.
NYPD Red by James Patterson and Marshall Karp was a good one, but then, nearly every offering from James Patterson has been good.
Our hero, and I do mean hero, is Zach Jordan. He is a member of an elite branch of the police force in New York City that deals with celebrities, and all they entail called NYPD Red. Zach's partner was injured before the book started, so he is paired with Kylie McDonald, a former girlfriend from the police academy. Some unresolved feelings remain, and Zach tries, fairly successfully, to push them aside.
Obviously, the story is not about the relationship between Kylie and Zach. It wouldn't be a Patterson page turner if it was.
Our evil villain is a man who calls himself "The Chameleon." His real name is Gabe, and he is a disgruntled actor wannabe. Gabe's screws are a little loose. Ok, they're ALOT loose. Gabe is filming his own movie, except there are no cameras. His movie is all in his head. The plot of his movie is mayhem, and his goal is to take out as many Hollywood heavyweights that are visiting New York as he can.
Zach and Kylie are charged with chasing this maniac down before the death toll gets out of hand. Can they do it? Read and find out. :)
