Delusional

Delusional is book 18 in the Michael Bennett thriller series by James Patterson and James O. Born. A string of deadly bombings in New York is followed by the theft of munitions from a military base across the river in New Jersey. Then trouble breaks out in Montana, where arson and murder hit a small town near Bozeman. Bennett and former army sniper Rob Trilling travel west to work with the ATF and find out whether the attacks are part of the same plan.

Two brothers keep appearing wherever the violence happens, along with a group that is angry with the government and claims it only wants to improve the world. Bennett has to work out what they are really planning before the next explosion turns a set of unrelated investigations into a nationwide disaster.

Detective Michael Bennett and army-sniper-turned-NYPD-officer Rob Trilling travel to Montana to investigate a case that crosses state borders and family lines in this thriller from the world’s bestselling author.

In New York City, a series of deadly bombs explodes. Across the river, a military base is burglarized for munitions. In Montana, violence and arson rock a small town outside of Bozeman. Are the incidents related?

Bennett, Trilling, and the ATF investigate. A single-minded group angry with the government keep turning up in unexpected places, insisting that they’re only trying to make the world a better place. To law enforcement, their claims seem delusional.

Will words or gunpowder light the next fuse?
