Once again, author Jerry Jenkins has done a great job with the element of suspense in this novel---it definitely kept me reading wanting to know what was going to happen next in Boone Drake's search for his abducted adoptive son Max. There is a double crisis going on in this novel since on the same day that his adoptive son Max is abducted, his wife Haeley falls on cement and sustains a severe life-threatening head injury. This time Boone doesn't turn to rage and bitterness as he had done after...more

As I picked up my complimentary advance readers’ copy of Jerry Jenkin’s new book, The Breakthrough, I reached in a basket and took out a bookmark. It turned out that picking up the bookmark was a waste of time. I read the book without stopping.
Every book I read by Jerry Jenkins reminds me that he is a writer at the top of his craft. The Breakthrough polishes that reputation to an even higher sheen.

Another winning book by Jerry B. Jenkins. The Breakthrough is the third book in the A Precinct 11 novel series. It seems to me each book Jerry writes is better than the one before.
I just love police books and this one is one of the best.
The characters and settings are so well described it just seems like you are right there.

I believe the last book I read by Jerry Jenkins was Left Behind, which I enjoyed immensely. This was a different kind of story, but had the same element of having you at the edge of your seat.
Jerry Jenkins is a great writer and develops stories which are suspenseful and entertaining. He hooks you into the story from page one.
The development of characters were believable. He writes so well, I was able to see and feel everything.

If you enjoy fast paced, action adventure cop thrillers then the Precinct 11 Series is for you. In this third book of the series Jenkins knocks it out of the park! He has the reader easily relating to the cliche' "why do bad things happen to good people" , through Boone Drake (the lead character).
You'll find yourself asking, how much can one man endure as you journey along with Drake. His friends show what true friends are all about and the interactions are very believable. You'll need to begin...more

The Breakthrough, the third in a series of Precinct 11 novels by Jerry Jenkins, is an excellent story that will keep readers engrossed to the end. Jenkins, already a respected author, outdid himself with this mystery and suspense novel, creating characters with authentic voices addressing themes, such as human trafficking and international adoption, that are both relevant and timely.
I particularly enjoyed the gritty, down-to-earth Boone Drake and the way in which this hard-core cop struggles wit...more

Great ending to a 3 part series. Det Boone Drake thought life was finally going his way, but there were new surprises. First his wife get sick and new son was kidnapped. Second he discovered that a man would do almost anything for his family. A must read if you like books from Jerry B. Jenkins.
This series just keeps getting better with each book! This was such an intense read I had a hard time putting it down to go to bed! Kidnapping, human trafficking, listening devices, entrapment, mystery...all these things can be found in this great read!
After everything that went on in the first two books (The Brotherhood and The Betrayal) Boone Drake's life seems to finally have settled down. He has a beautiful wife and a young adopted son and is now the Chief of Chicago's new Major Case Squad.
However, at almost the exact same moment, two fresh disasters rock his world. (view spoiler)...more

I really liked this series. Well-written, descriptive, suspensful, without all the graphic garbage in so many contemporary suspense stories.
Best edge-of-your-seat Jerry Jenkins I've read to date! I didn't want to put it down.
Very Good
A real page turner ...
A fast paced read.
