The Midnight Club - James Patterson

From the author who created the superbly chilling international No 1 bestsellers Along Came a Spider, Kiss the Girls and Jack and Jill comes an irresistibly fast-moving crime thriller.

John Stefanovitch is one tough New York cop. Nobody knows the underbelly of the city like he does. Stef is out to nab Alexandre St-Germain, the most treacherous and powerful member of the Midnight Club - a secret international society whose membership is limited to an elite group of ruthless crime czars, all of whom are 'respectable' businessmen. And Stef's the ideal man for the job - until he's levelled by a blast from St-Germain's shotgun and left for dead.

Now, Stef is back, wheelchair-bound, yet sworn to destroy St-Germain. With the help of a beautiful journalist and a Harlem cop, Stef is determined to crack the Midnight Club. And he's up against odds that are as unknown as they are deadly.
