Haunted

The latest title in the Detective Michael Bennett series by James Patterson and James Born finds Detective Bennett beside himself with worry over his eldest son, Brian. Since he wouldn’t give up the name of his dealer when found selling drugs, Brian cannot plea bargain his felony to a lesser charge, and upon being found guilty, is sent to jail. Bennett hits the streets determined to discover the name of Brian’s dealer. But the detective must also balance his need to help Brian with the needs of his other 9 kids, so he and his girlfriend hit the road for a vacation in Maine. There he discovers that drugs are just as much of a evil there as well. Haunted has a fast pace, several murders, and is a quick read. Since it was my first Patterson mystery novel, I will be going back to read others in this series. Recommended for fans of police thrillers.
