A calculating killer who calls himself The Teacher is taking on New York City, killing the powerful and the arrogant. His message is clear: remember your manners or suffer the consequences! For some, it seems that the rich are finally getting what they deserve. For New York's elite, it is a call to terror. Only one man can tackle such a high-profile case: Detective Mike Bennett. The pressure is enough for anyone, but Mike also has to care for his 10 children-all of whom have come down with virulent flu at once! Discovering a secret pattern in The Teacher's lessons, Detective Bennett realizes he has just hours to save New York from the greatest disaster in its history.

This was an easy and intriguing read, however as the story progressed you expected much more from Patterson. It fell short in areas where I expected more suspense and there were no normal Patterson/Ledwidge twists and thrills. Overall, a good story and worth reading however a disappointing ending that left me with many unanswered questions.
