Step on a Crack by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge

Mike Bennett is a veteran NYPD detective with hostage negotiating skills. He also has ten adopted kids and a wife dying of cancer. At the former first lady's funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral, twelve men kidnap everyone at the funeral, holding the celebs and dignitaries for ransom. Mike heads the negotiations while trying to spend time with his wife and check on his kids. Do the bad guys get away with it? And who's the really bad guy behind the whole thing?

Hopefully, this is the start of a new series for Mr. Patterson. As usual, he's thrown in twists and turns to keep your interest.
