It's the start of Hollywood on Hudson, and New York City is swept up in the glamour. Every night, the red carpet rolls out for movie stars arriving at premieres in limos; the most exclusive restaurants close for private parties for wealthy producers and preeminent directors; and thousands of fans gather with the paparazzi, hoping to catch a glimpse of the most famous and beautiful faces in the world. With this many celebrities in town, special task force NYPD Red is on high alert-and they can't afford to make a single mistake.

Then a world-renowned producer fatally collapses at his power breakfast, and top NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan is the first one on the scene. Zach works with his beautiful new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald-who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend-to discover who the murderer might be. But this is only the beginning: the most brutal, public, and horrifyingly spectacular crimes they've ever encountered are about to send all of New York into chaos, putting NYPD Red on the ropes.

Zach and Kylie know there's no way of telling what a killer this deranged will do next. With the whole world watching, they have to find a way to stop a psychopath who has scripted his finale down to the last explosive detail. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, NYPD Red is the next mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." (TIME)

Review

Acclaim for James Patterson

"I can't believe how good Patterson is, whether he's doing a Washington police yarn or traveling a different road with a female narrator. He is always on the mark. I have never begun a Patterson book and been able to put it down."―Larry King, USA Today,

"You just can't beat James Patterson when it comes to suspense. He's the king...make that the emperor of contemporary suspense fiction."―Rebeccareads.com

"America's #1 storyteller."―Forbes

"Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves the plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind."―Michael Connelly

"Patterson knows how to keep the pages turning."―David Lazarus, San Francisco Chronicle

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Marshall Karp co-created and co-authored the first six books in the #1 bestselling NYPD Red series with James Patterson, author of the Alex Cross, Women’s Murder Club, Detective Michael Bennett, and Private novels. Starting with NYPD RED: THE MURDER SORORITY, Marshall became the sole author of the series, which features Detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan as members of an elite police task force dedicated to solving crimes committed against, and sometimes by, New York City's rich and famous.

    Marshall is also the author of five books in the critically-acclaimed Lomax and Biggs Mystery series featuring LAPD Detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs, who work homicide out of the famed Los Angeles Hollywood Division.

It was during his time in Hollywood that Marshall met many of the people he kills off in his novels, a cathartic yet perfectly legal way for a Hollywood writer to exorcize his demons.

4.0 out of 5 stars A page turner at the very least
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

James Patterson's "NYPD Red" is the story of a special task force of the New York Police Department that looks out for the A-Listers who come to the city. Movie actors, producers, directors and other celebrities who need a bit of special protection are their assignments. Detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie Macdonald have their work cut out for them as partners when New York hosts "Hollywood on the Hudson" where beautiful actresses arrive on the red carpet along with TV and movie-making people who are famous around the world. There are showings of movies, interviews and all that viewers and attendees want to see. New York City is in the process of trying to recruit some of the entertainment business to their city from Los Angeles where most of it resides. NYC would love to lure some of the glitz and glamour for their own.

All goes well until a well-known producer dies during his breakfast. Zach Jordan is the first cop on the scene from the NYPD Red unit and his partner, ex-girlfriend, Kylie Macdonald, is soon on the case, too. They can't afford to make mistakes on cases like this, so they go to work on the investigation. The killing doesn't stop here, though. As they team up and search for a deranged killer who has a plan all his own, it becomes more and more dangerous for those at the event, as well as for Zach and Kylie.

This is a thriller full of suspense and never knowing what will happen next. There is a lot of action and the ending is an edge-of-your-seat finish to a book that doesn't let the reader relax for a minute.

James Patterson has done an excellent job with this one, character-wise and story-wise. The dialogue is good and it is well-paced. Recommended for suspense/thriller/mystery readers.

I'm looking forward to reading NYPD Red 2.

NYPD Red brings together two of the biggest draws in the civilized world, New York City and the Hollywood elite. Beginning with the opening of Hollywood on the Hudson, a weeklong seduction of Hollywood moguls to consider New York as a setting for future productions, Patterson and Karp weave an action packed tale.
“The Chameleon” has set out to attack the Hollywood bigwigs, bringing them to their knees and driving them away from New York. He has scripted a movie and begins to bring it to life while being pursued by the NYPD Red contingent of the NY police force. This group of top cops was created after 9/11 to handle high profile crimes with high profile defined as crimes against the movers and shakers who operate in the city. Officially they are the High Profile Victims Response Team and Zach Jordan is one of the seventy-five officers assigned to the team. While his partner is on the DL he is joined by former girlfriend Kylie MacDonald in working the case of the flashy serial killer who is making headlines.
Using the backdrop of NY and locations that are probably familiar to most people Jordan and MacDonald track the killer as he brings his script to life, literally. With a cast of characters that include Hollywood moguls and movie stars, a sexy police psychologist, and MacDonald’s husband who also happens to be part of the in crowd NYPD Red is a page turner. With some sexual tension, more action and excitement, and a lot of over the top adventures the story unfolds at a quick pace.
By no means is this book a literary wonder, but it is a lively, action packed police story that held my attention. I also found it interesting enough to have picked up the next adventure NYPD Red 2.

A quick read...Typical James Paterson....Good but not his best. However, I did enjoy how he twisted a simple love story, and suspense, on the part of the work of the detectives & the bad guy. The dynamic duo of Zach and Kylie had me literally laughing out loud with their back-and-forth witty, sarcastic banter. It was quite predictable at times, but the pace was fast so I could accept it and just travel along with the story. Overall, get it from the library for free if you can. 📚📚
I hope my review was helpful to you.

I enjoy the suspense of this series. Waiting for #6 and read #1 which I missed. Suddenly realized that the last mention of the taser was in connection with Gabe and Charles. How did Kelly have it in the the last scene? She had already lost her gun and been submerged in the water. First time I have noticed a possible plot error in books 1 through 5.

Zack Jordan and Kylie MacDonald are newly partnered in the elite celebrity protection department NYPD Red. Zack still loves Kylie from their days at cadet school! Awkward.
The chameleon is a crazy extra determined to be a star and recognised for his amazing scripts. Scripts that are only in his head. He's determined to get rid of directors and writers who never noticed his brilliance. With the help of his girlfriend Lexi he goes on a killing rampage.
I found this a thrilling, paced read. A classic 'cop' drama perfect for cinema!
