Step on a Crack/James Patterson/383 pages

Michael Bennett is having a bad day. His wife is in the hospital dying of cancer. Their ten, yes ten, adopted children are missing her but also wishing for a Christmas miracle. The former First Lady's funeral is taking place at St. Patrick's Cathedral when the entire church and the celebrity mourners are taken hostage by kidnappers demanding tens of millions of dollars in ransom. Michael is a former hostage negotiator, so when the official negotiator is unavailable at first, Michael is pressed into duty.

This is the first in the Michael Bennett series. It's a typically fast-paced Patterson adventure. The best part of the Pattersons, Woods, Evanoviches and the like is that you don't have to think too much. Summer reading year round.
