Worst Case by James Patterson & Michael LedwidgeJames Patterson & Michael Ledwidge's
WORST CASE

APRIL 2010

This is the third book I've read by Patterson & Michael Ledwidge. Mike Bennett is becoming one of my favorite characters. I did wish he and Parker would have hooked up, but keeping them apart makes for better mystery. Very enjoyable book and a fast read!
