The police can't help you
Former Marine helicopter pilot Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe. It is where you go when you need maximum force and maximum discretion. The secrets of the most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily--and his staff of investigators uses the world's most advanced forensic tools to make and break their cases.
The press will destroy you
Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multi-million dollar NFL gambling scandal and the unsolved slayings of 18 schoolgirls when he learns of a horrific murder close to home: his best friend's wife, Jack's former lover, has been killed. It nearly pushes him over the edge. Instead, Jack pushes back and devotes all of Private's resources to tracking down her killer.
Only one place to turn: Private
But Jack doesn't have to play by the rules. As he closes in on the killer and chooses between revenge and justice, Morgan has to navigate a workplace love affair that threatens to blow the roof off his plans. With a plot that moves at death-defying speeds, Private is James Patterson sleekest, most exciting thriller ever.

Add a CommentReally liked this book. Not the usual Patterson fare, but interesting enough. I am in a beautiful rut with Alex Cross, I'm afraid!
RETURNED FRI 06 01 2012
Enjoyed this book, excited for the other books he intends to write with Jack!!
Ah...another "mystery" where everyone is rich & beautiful. You'll figure out the murderer's identity by about chapter 3.
Great book - if you like James Patterson, I highly recommend this one !!
Better due to more emphasis on story than violence
Terrific book - really enjoyed this - one of Patterson's best could not put it down - hopefully this will be a new series...
Started off like a cracker, held my interest for the first few chapters then slowed. Too many different plots and not enough substance to make it worth reading. Mediocre at best.
