Gone is the follow up to I, Michael Bennett.

In the last book Bennett arrested Drug lord Manuel Perrine wheo then escaped and threated Bennett's family. The Bennett family is in the Witness protection program. They’re living on a farm in California. Bennett’s nanny has adapted, but the kids hate it. And his grandfather misses their traditional Mass services. What they wouldn’t give to be back in New York.

Gone opens with a blast of violence, people die and evil breaks loose. The scenes are gruesome. Gone has Perrine showing powerful competing criminals he’s better at assassinating than they are…. It gets to a point when the killing is out of control and everyone is in danger…

In the last book, Perrine murdered Bennett’s friend and threatened to Bennett and his family. Bennett remembers and so does his family. When the FBI arrives and requests Bennett's help in capturing Perrine, his family tells him to do it. They all know the possible cost, but they also have faith in him. What they don't know is how close Perrine going to get...

Patterson and Ledwidge sure can deliver a massacre or two. I cringed at the killing scenes. Narrators' Danny Mastrogiorgio and Henry Leyva bring Bennett's determination and Perrin’s violence to life. Mercy, what a listen…

Gone is a merciless, mind-blowing ride that will have you watching with your eyes half closed…
