HTML:As he faces a devastating personal loss, Detective Michael Bennett is about to take on the most sinister challenge of his career: a kidnapping crisis that could destroy the most powerful people in America. The nation has fallen into mourning after the unexpected death of a beloved former First Lady, and the most powerful people in the world gather in New York for her funeral. Then the inconceivable occurs: Billionaires, politicians, and superstars of every kind are suddenly trapped within one man's brilliant and ruthless scenario. Bennett, father of ten, is pulled into the fray. As the danger escalates, Michael is hit with devastating news: After fighting for many years, his wife has succumbed to a terrible disease. As New York descends into chaos, Bennett has lost the great love of his life and faces raising his ten devastated children alone-and rescuing 34 hostages. Day after day, Bennett confronts the most ruthless man he has ever dealt with, a man who kills without hesitation and counters everything the NYPD and FBI throw at him with impunity. As the entire world watches and the tension boils to a searing heat, Bennett has to find a way out-or face responsibility for the greatest debacle in history.… (plus d'informations)
L'Amérique est en deuil. L'ex-première dame des États-Unis vient de mourir. Regrettable accident, pense l'opinion... Mais les apparences sont trompeuses. Et la police de New York apprend bientôt qu'elle a été assassinée par un certain Mr Clean. Vengeance ? Non, un plan bien plus machiavélique. Alors que tous les puissants du pays - stars de la politique, des médias, du sport et du show-biz - sont à la cathédrale Saint Patrick, sur la 5e avenue de New York, pour rendre à la First Lady un dernier hommage, les portes se referment. Brutalement. Que personne ne bouge ! Prise d'otages ! L'une des plus spectaculaires de l'histoire. Michael Bennett, flic atypique, est chargé de mener à bien la négociation avec les ravisseurs. Bientôt, la grande majorité de l'assistance est relâchée. Mais, pour libérer la trentaine d'otages restant, une rançon de 80 millions de dollars est exigée. Un montant astronomique ! La tension monte d'un cran quand le maire de New York vient s'écraser sur le parvis de la cathédrale... Mais, pour Michael Bennett, le pire est à venir.

Step on a crack, Break your mother's back. Step on a crack, and you'll soon be eaten By the bears that congregate at street corners, Waiting for their lunch to walk by. ~ City Sayings
