I've liked Patterson's books for some time; adding Ledwidge as a co-author hasn't diminished the appeal at all.
An eco-catastrophe looms, but no one will believe it--or rather, no one WANTS to believe it or admit it. And since the very first step to curing a problem is to admit it exists... Well, if we don't take the first step, there's no way to make any second. We're in a real bind here.
From back cover: All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities. Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush in Africa, the enormity of the impending violence becomes terrifyingly clear. With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world leaders before it's too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity, cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans to hide.

I enjoyed the book very much.
Give me a break, we've killed off 99% or more of the large carnivores on earth, it's time we stopped making others paranoid about them.
