Cool and glamorous, they could be a successful couple on a holiday. But Damian and Carrie Rose are psychopathic murderers for hire. Their new venue is a picture-perfect vacation island. Their adversary will be Peter Macdonald, the dashing young American who forsakes a life of leisure for a confrontation with cold-blooded terror. And risks everything only to discover that he alone suspects the hideous truth about the Season of the Machete.

When a copy of his book turns up at a gruesome murder scene - along with a threatening message from the killer - it looks like someone has been taking notes. Elizabeth Needham is the headstrong and brilliant NYPD Detective in charge of the case who recruits Dylan to help investigate another souvenir left at the scene - a playing card. Another murder, another card - and now Dylan suspects that the cards aren't a signature, they're a deadly hint.

When Leroy "Chinese" Gordon breaks into a professor's lab at the University of Los Angeles, he's after some pharmaceutical cocaine, worth plenty of money. Instead, he finds the papers the professor has compiled for the CIA, which include a blueprint for throwing a large city into chaos. But how is the CIA to be persuaded to pay a suitable ransom, unless of course someone actually uses the plan to throw a large city into chaos - Los Angeles, for instance?

grisly yet well thought out
definitely not for sensitive ears, written with 70s/80s sensibilities in mind. full of twists and gore.

Don't Waste Your Time
I used to enjoy Patterson when he first started writing the Alex Cross stories, but I should have stopped listening years ago. This book, like most of hos recent titles, is poorly plotted, lacking detail, devoid of character development and simply ridiculous. On top of that, the narrator is atrocious. I am pretty tolerant when it comes to audiobooks, but this was the worst book I purchased this year- actually in several years. I tried to give Patterson one last chance, but I wish he'd taken a machete to his manuscript. It would have been a more interesting story.
