NYPD Red Description
It's the start of Hollywood on Hudson, and New York City is swept up in the glamour. Every night, the red carpet rolls out for movie stars arriving at premieres in limos; the most exclusive restaurants close for private parties for wealthy producers and preeminent directors; and thousands of fans gather with the paparazzi, hoping to catch a glimpse of the most famous and beautiful faces in the world. With this many celebrities in town, special task force NYPD Red is on high alert-and they can't afford to make a single mistake. Then a world-renowned producer fatally collapses at his power breakfast, and top NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan is the first one on the scene. Zach works with his beautiful new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald-who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend-to discover who the murderer might be. But this is only the beginning: the most brutal, public, and horrifyingly spectacular crimes they've ever encountered are about to send all of New York into chaos, putting NYPD Red on the ropes. Zach and Kylie know there's no way of telling what a killer this deranged will do next. With the whole world watching, they have to find a way to stop a psychopath who has scripted his finale down to the last explosive detail. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists,
NYPD Red is the next mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." (

As the murder is being investigated, brutal and horrific crimes are about to send New York into total chaos. Are they able to stop a psychopath in his terrifying tracks, before it's too late?

Patterson presents Detective Zach Jordan - a member of the NYPD Red squad. This unit is tasked to protecting the glitterati - celebrities from screen, stage and sports and anyone else rich enough to deserve special treatment. His partner has recently been injured on the job and he is 'temporarily' partnered with Kylie McDonald. McDonald attended the academy with Jordan and is drop dead gorgeous - and they were once an item. But she is now happily married, to a Hollywood screenwriter.
New York is hosting 'Hollywood on the Hudson' - an attempt to lure directors, producers and their minions to New York to make movies. NYPD Red will be stretched thin to protect the stars that have descended on Manhattan. And from the opening scene there is a body - a much despised producer ends up dead over breakfast.
The two Red unit detectives chase a killer, a killer that wants the front page and to destroy New York's 'best foot forward' attempt to lure the stars. At the same time Jordan tries to quash his attraction to his partner and start a relationship with someone else.
Clearly the first salvo in a series - just okay. Short, an easy read but predictable from page one.
