Under Pressure by Robert Pobi
5.0

Robert Pobi has written another heart stopping, adrenaline fueled thriller. Dr. Lucas Page once again is talked into helping the FBI – this time to see who is setting off bombs and killing hundreds of people all over NYC. Once again Lucas uses his uncanny memory and special math skills as he tries to analyze data, numbers, and all sorts of unrelated facts about the bombings and the victims to come up with some kind of pattern to figure out who is behind the bombings. Once again he is obnoxious to his co-workers and anyone who he thinks is beneath his intelligence (which means almost everyone) and once again he puts himself in unbelievable danger. There is lots of bloodshed and the killing of many innocent people, there is lots of black humor, there is non-stop action and there is just the slightest softening of Lucas Page as a person. Lots of books are listed as thrillers but few fill the bill as well as Under Pressure does.
