NYPD Red 2: by James Patterson & Marshall Karp | Summary & Analysis
This is a Summary & Analysis of NYPD Red 2: by James Patterson & Marshall Karp. Drawing on vast writing experience, James Patterson has added to his standing with this instalment of the series. The novel tells a story that will ring true for many readers, following Detectives Jordan and MacDonald through a tense investigation that suffers several reversals before coming to a classic ending. Along the way, Patterson and Karp use the text to comment about the gap between law and justice and the dangers of trying to bridge it without sufficient structure. Divided into five parts (a prologue, three major divisions, and an epilogue), the novel shifts narrative point of view irregularly, sometimes recounting the story from the Jordan’s first-person limited perspective, sometimes narrating from a third-person omniscient position. Transitions between them are not clearly marked, making for confusion at chapter breaks and disrupting the flow of the story.
James Patterson and Marshall Karp’s novel is a typical action novel centering on an investigation by Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald, partnered detectives in the department—an elite investigative unit that handles cases involving the particularly rich and famous. The investigation pursues the Hazmat Killer, evidently a serial killer of unusual skill who operates as a vigilante and “brings justice†to those whom the justice system has wrongly freed. As is to be expected, after several reversals, Jordan and MacDonald do manage to identify the killer and prevent Hazmat from continuing to murder those acquitted by the justice system.
This companion to NYPD Red 2 also includes the following:
• Book Review
• Story Setting Analysis
• Story elements you may have missed as we decipher the novel
• Details of Characters & Key Character Analysis
• Summary of the text, with some analytical comments interspersed
• Discussion & Analysis of Themes, Symbols…
• And Much More!
Per the title, the novel takes place in New York City, with only a brief excursion into northern New Jersey. The prologue precedes the main narrative by some twelve years; it begins on Halloween 2001, so most of the book takes place in 2013. Sufficient reference is made to real locations in the city, particularly Manhattan, and enough to seemingly believable locations in certain neighborhoods (Chinatown, particularly) to give the text sufficient verisimilitude to invite suspension of disbelief.
This Analysis of NYPD Red 2 fills the gap, making you understand more while enhancing your reading experience.
