This is book 3 of the "NYPD Red" series.

This note does not contain major spoilers for the book.

By James Patterson and Marshall Karp, but all the NYPD Red books so far seem to be with Karp.

The idea of a special unit for dealing with celebrities is hugely offensive, and somehow that's barely discussed in the books, which bothers me. But on the other hand they don't seem to be stupid as frequently as other Patterson books (yeah, I'm about giving up on Patterson, things add up too fast).

This one has a kidnapping that the father doesn't seem to care about and more examples of the horrors of celebrity parents. Oh, and we start with the decapitation of a loyal driver.
