Synopsis

A calculating killer who calls himself The Teacher is taking on New York City, killing the powerful and the arrogant. His message is clear: remember your manners or suffer the consequences! For some, it seems that the rich are finally getting what they deserve. For New York's elite, it is a call to terror.

Only one man can tackle such a high-profile case: Detective Mike Bennett. The pressure is enough for anyone, but Mike also has to care for his 10 children-all of whom have come down with virulent flu at once!

Discovering a secret pattern in the Teacher's lessons, Detective Bennett realizes he has just hours to save New York from the greatest disaster in its history. From the #1 bestselling author comes BE AFRAID, the continuation of his newest, electrifying series.

From AudioFile

Dual narrators Bobby Cannavale and Dallas Roberts perform a thriller about a calculating serial killer who sees himself as a teacher--"whose class is about to begin." The socially elite of New York City are his students, and he's determined to teach them a lesson. Detective Mike Bennett, recently widowed, is depicted as a hard-driving man who is able to balance pressure from his commissioner, the mayor, and the media with overseeing 10 adopted children. The dual narration powerfully captures terrified citizens, an Irish nanny with a sweet accent, and a publisher who wonders if she will survive. Traffic noises, rapid-fire gunshots, and the screams of the dying sound authentic. The dual narration adds a rich dimension, deftly crafting the various personalities of the characters and the story's rising tension. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
