The Red Book cover

In this gripping sequel, Detective Billy Harney confronts a political drive-by shooting that unearths his troubled past. As he delves deeper, he faces both external threats and his inner demons.

In The Red Book, the much-anticipated sequel to the bestselling The Black Book, readers are reintroduced to Detective Billy Harney, a key member of Chicago PD's elite strike force. Harney finds himself in the midst of a tumultuous investigation that begins with a drive-by shooting on the city’s West Side. As the case takes a political turn, Harney is determined to uncover the truth, even as he faces personal threats and accusations from those within his own department.

As Harney delves deeper into the case, he discovers that the answers he seeks are not as straightforward as they seem. The investigation forces him to confront not only the corruption and evil festering within the city but also his own troubled past. This internal struggle adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, as Harney grapples with his own demons while trying to bring justice to the forefront. The story skillfully intertwines his professional challenges with personal revelations, creating a gripping and multi-dimensional plot.

Readers have praised The Red Book as one of James Patterson's finest thrillers, highlighting its fast-paced narrative and unexpected twists. Many have expressed their enjoyment of the book, noting how it keeps them engaged from start to finish. With its blend of suspense, action, and character development, The Red Book promises to be a thrilling ride for both long-time fans of Patterson and newcomers alike.
