Blurb (from book jacket): "The nation has fallen into mourning after the death of a beloved former first lady. 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 cold-blooded scenario.
"Detective Michael Bennett-father of ten-is pulled into the fray. As the danger escalates, Michael experiences a devastating loss: after fighting it for many years, his wife has succumbed to a terrible disease. As New York descends into chaos, he faces raising his ten heartbroken children alone-and rescuing thirty-four hostages.
"Day after day, Bennett confronts the most ruthless man he has ever encountered. As the entire world watches and the tension builds to a searing heat, Bennett has to find a way out-or face responsiblity for a deadly debacle.
Opinion: An interesting turn of events at a funeral for a First Lady. And then to find out who was behind it all...very interesting.
