Detective Billy Harney exposes an evil lurking deep within his city - but it also brings his own past demons to light...
To Billy Harney, the newest member of Chicago PD's elite strike force, getting shot in the head, stalked by a state's attorney, and accused of murder by his fellow cops is all part of breaking a case.
So, when a drive-by shooting on the Chicago's West Side turns political, he doesn't shy away from leading the investigation.
As the easy answers prove to be the wrong ones, Harney's quest to expose the evil that's rotting the city from the inside out takes him to the one place he vowed never to return to- his own troubled past.

Product description
Review
The Red Book is a police procedural with a roguish, quick-witted cop at it's heart. There's plenty of humour and oodles of action, sharp dialogue and clever plotting ― NB Magazine
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. -- NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. -- LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series
Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. -- MICHAEL CONNELLY

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Whilst accepting there is a lot of corruption in many police forces throughout the world, the reader’s task here was to figure out, who wasn’t corrupt.
I think it is becoming more and more his co-writers creations. Which is fine if that is expected but not if one expects the style and standard of the master.
Back to Connelly or even Grisham, whose books can also bea disappointment of late.

The usual twist and turns to keep you wanting more. Harney the real anti hero, you get dragged in willing him to break the case.
Can't whatsoever next one.
