Таинственные монахи в масках, вооруженные самым современным оружием, захватили собор Святого Патрика, в котором собрались на поминальную мессу по первой леди США самые богатые и знаменитые люди Америки.
Ни полиция, ни ФБР не в силах помешать террористам - собор неприступен, точно крепость.
И тогда к делу подключают детектива Майкла Беннета - гениального переговорщика.
Цель Беннета - понять, кто стоит за дерзким захватом заложников и как к нему подобраться. А он - совсем рядом. Следит за происходящим. Прислушивается.
И ждет нового раунда смертельно опасной игры...

Этот преступник называет себя Учителем. И он намерен преподать урок всем жителям Нью-Йорка. Он убивает, заявляя, что выполняет высшую миссию - избавляет город от богачей, кичащихся огромными деньгами и положением в обществе.
Но какое отношение к ним имели другие жертвы - юная пассажирка метро, продавец из дорогого магазина, метрдотель элитного клуба, стюардесса?
Детектив Майкл Беннетт, которому поручено это сложное дело, убежден: убийца преследует какую-то иную цель и она далека от его громких заявлений.
В ходе расследования Беннетт подбирается к Учителю все ближе, но вскоре погибают двое его коллег-полицейских, и он понимает, что смертельная опасность грозит и ему самому...

The son of one of New York's wealthiest families is snatched off the street and held hostage. His parents can't save him, because this kidnapper isn't demanding money. Instead, he quizzes his prisoner on the price others pay for his life of luxury. In this exam, wrong answers are fatal.

Detective Michael Bennett leads the investigation. With ten kids of his own, he can't begin to understand what could lead someone to target anyone's children. As another student disappears, one powerful family after another uses their leverage and connections to turn up the heat on the mayor, the press, anyone who will listen, to stop this killer. Their reach extends all the way to the FBI, who send their top Abduction Specialist, Agent Emily Parker. Bennett's work life - and love life - suddenly get even more complicated.

Before Bennett has a chance to protest the FBI's intrusion on his case, the mastermind changes his routine. His plan leads up to the most deadly demonstration yet - one that could bring cataclysmic devastation to every inch of New York.
