In case you'e missed it ... NYPD RED, NYPD RED 2, and NYPD RED 3 are a series that features a police department that solely works committed against or by the very rich and famous in New York City.

The detectives are highly trained to deal with the elite. Detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald are the best of the best.

In this, the third of the series, a headless corpse is found. The son of a very connected man is presumed to have been kidnapped, but family strongly denies this. It's a case of lies and deceipt, cover ups, and greed with plenty of twists to keep you interested in seeing what's going to happen next.

Detective Jordan is the calmer of their partnership, while Detective MacDonald is the rule bender/breaker. They both love their jobs and there is nothing better than chasing the bad guys. Thank goodness they have a boss who is more circumspect in dealing with the big wigs.

There are a lot of characters ... a lot of action. The characters are quirky and witty and keep each other sane with their humor when their cases go south.

I haven't read many Patterson books for awhile ... but this is one series that I recommend. As usual, the chapters are short and easy to read.
