NYPD Red was an elite task force in New York City which dealt in high-profile crimes, so when Detective Zach Jordan and his partner Detective Kylie MacDonald were called in to investigate the murder of the chauffeur of billionaire businessman Hunter Alden Jr, they didn’t expect to encounter an uncooperative, arrogant man who appeared to be more concerned with his expensive car than the life of his chauffeur Peter. When it tied in with the disappearance of eighteen year old Tripp, son of Alden, facts – or the lack of them – became very murky indeed.
Delving deeply into the lives of the elite had never bothered Zach or Kylie – neither did it bother them this time with Alden. But the demeanour of the man said much of his way of life. More and more they were determined to find answers – discover a killer and locate Tripp. But was it all a smokescreen? As secrets rose to the surface, danger accompanied them. And Zach and Kylie were in the firing line…
NYPD Red 3 by James Patterson is another fast paced thriller which kept me up late into the night. A couple of extremely nasty characters had life in this book – the private lives of the two main police were a mess! And Zach is a bit of an idiot! (Hear me – “oh for goodness sake; get over yourself!”) But overall NYPD Red 3 was a thoroughly enjoyable thriller which I highly recommend.
