Why we’re excited
Gracie Bronte is a New York reporter so stubborn about murder cases that people call her Bulldog. Her latest story is a killer known only as the Traveler, who thinks he can outwit her. She knows the city's streets and police well, which may not be enough this time.
James Patterson has written dozens of fast, short-chapter thrillers, the Alex Cross and Women's Murder Club books among them, and this one stands alone. A journalist hero gives him a different route into a serial-killer case than his usual detectives. It should suit anyone after a quick, plot-first read over a weekend.

From the publisher
An investigative journalist goes searching for her next blockbuster case—then wishes she hadn’t found The Traveler.
My name is Gracie Bronte. I’m an investigative journalist in New York City. My nickname is “Bulldog.” When someone is murdered, I won’t rest until I hunt their killer down. I’m a consummate New Yorker. I know every street. Every building. Every hidden gem. Every dark corner. I know all the cops and they know me. Now I’m hunting a vicious killer, the Traveler, who thinks he’s smarter than I am. Maybe. Maybe not. But has the Traveler ever fought against a bulldog?
