Product Description
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.

 Not one of his better ones September 6, 2010
Tina S. (Pottstown,PA)
I have read all of James Patterson's books and this was not one of his better ones. I am so glad that I got it out of the library. Don't waste your $12.99 to buy it on the kindle!
Disjointed September 6, 2010
P. Miller (Ks)
This is probably one of the most disjointed Patterson books I have ever read and I have read most of his books. His Alex Cross, and the women's murder series were fantastic but this is not worth struggling through in my opinion

Seemed to take a while longer than usual to get my book, the condition of the book is as stated
Message overlooked by reviewers September 4, 2010
This is not a deep read... Back in the day, like so many reviewers, I would RUN to the bookstore to get JP's latest "hot off the press." These days...we are disappointed. Seems to lack detail, depth, the vocabulary too elementary... TWO authors should be able to come up with better words than "ginormous"! However, one should not overlook the important issue (and very possible danger) concerning and linking texting and teen abduction. Parents may want to read and discuss verifying who is texting before ever going to meet up with a friend "in crisis." No one has mentioned this...
If you are new to James Patterson, try Pop Goes The Weasel, Along Came A Spider or Kiss The Girls, for example of why we are disappointed with mezza-mezz stories of late! Must plug the amazing Patricia Cornwell's latest : Scarpetta and Harlan Coben's Hold Tight for anyone looking for an engrossing thrill!
