Escape

By: James Patterson, David Ellis

Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini

In this companion to #1 New York Times bestseller The Black Book, Detective Billy Harney chases down a prison escape artist and billionaire crime boss—while a young girl’s life hangs in the balance.

As Chicago PD’s special-ops leader, Detective Billy Harney knows well that money is not the only valuable currency. The filthy rich man he’s investigating is down to his last twenty million. He’s also being held in jail.

For now.

Billy’s unit is called in when an escape plan results in officers down and inmates vanished.

In an empty lot, Billy spots two Kevlar vests. Two helmets. Two assault rifles. And a handwritten note:

Hi, Billy
Are you having fun yet?

Billy Harney is back

While not as thrilling and heart-wrenching as the two previous installments, this was a good work in the Billy Harney series. We didn’t get as much of Harney-family shenanigans in this installment, but, for me, the most emotionally resonant parts of the story were involving such scenes. I’m not sure if there will be more books in this series, but I sure hope so. I’ve become quite fond of the Billy Goat. The narration was excellent as usual.

P.S. One big negative of this series is a disproportionate number of strong female characters getting fridged.

Great!

Did not disappoint. Another great story in the series. The bar was set high with the previous books and this book doesn't go under it

Awesome book. Worth turning into a good movie. Awesome!!!

Well written. This was great story telling content. I felt as though I actually became a part of the action.

Great series !

James Patterson never disappoints
Highly recommend this series it will keep you guessing till the end

The whole series was great!!

I love these kind of series and stumble along to this one! Eduardo is an awesome narrator! Can’t wait to hear more of Billy’s story!
