Crosshairs: A Michael Bennett Thriller is a gripping police procedural novel by bestselling authors James Patterson and James O. Born, published by Little, Brown and Company (Hachette Book Group). This trade paperback edition releases August 5, 2025, and marks the latest installment in the beloved Michael Bennett series.

New York City detective Michael Bennett faces his most terrifying case yet as a deadly sniper—dubbed the "Longshot Killer" by the press—uses fearsome precision to take out seemingly impossible targets across the five boroughs. With each victim chosen at random, panic grips the city and all eyes turn to Bennett.

To crack the case, Bennett is paired with Officer Rob Trilling, a decorated former Army Ranger and NYPD Emergency Services Unit sniper. Trilling is brilliant with a rifle but awkward with people—and when he begins logging unexplained absences from duty, Bennett is forced to confront an impossible question: is his new partner a lonely hunter haunted by his past, or is he the very killer Bennett is hunting?
