A serial killer is taking out cops in NYC. Could Detective Michael Bennett be next? Michael Bennett says a prayer every time he witnesses a death. In his line of work, it happens too often. But lately he's attended so many police funerals that his deepening sadness is crossing into the zone of suspicion. Bennett must find the person responsible for the deaths of his friends - before he becomes their next target. With a new baby on the way, Bennett's protective instincts - as a father, a colleague and a detective - have never faced a bigger test. _____________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON 'It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ...

Ohromný havajský vulkán Mauna Loa je největší činnou sopkou na planetě. Místní říkají, že když se třese země a z vrcholu tryská láva, sopka s nimi promlouvá. Jenže teď to vypadá, že se gigantický vulkán chystá křičet z plných plic. Zdejší sopečná observatoř v čele se zkušeným vulkanologem Johnem MacGregorem odhaduje, že se blíží nejničivější erupce všech dob, která by mohla zcela zničit největší havajský ostrov. I to je však zcela podružné ve srovnání s děsivým vojenským tajemstvím, které se na ostrově skrývá. Legendární Michael Crichton svůj velkolepý „sopečný“ román bohužel nedokončil, ale naštěstí ho zastoupil další veleúspěšný autor thrillerů a detektivek James Patterson. Filmovou adaptaci v současné době připravuje Steven Spielberg.
