Critical Praise
Step On A Crack
"STEP ON A CRACK is the slam-dunk start of a brand-new suspense series featuring Det. Michael Bennett, and I'm impressed with this new character. He's an intelligent man who believes in faith and family and, of course, upholding the law. The prolific James Patterson, this time in collaboration with Michael Ledwidge, has devised a solid base and a crafty scenario that promises more great stories to come."
