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’s sleekest, most exciting thriller ever.
Pretty good. I don’t know, I guess there is something wrong with me because I thought “Private” by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro was pretty good. Was it an edge of the seat, can’t put down sort of book – no. It was a good story line centering on the business of a private investigation company. It had multiple story lines which makes sense since it is an investigation firm and would normally deal with more than one client. I didn’t have a hard time keeping the stories straight and could follow them…

Reflection of my age I suppose, but, his earliest books were definitely page-turners for me.
PRIVATE number 1 in series I thought that it was really good reading. There was more than one story going, but yet it was easy to follow. Not sure how much of it was actually written bu Patterson, but it was still pretty good.
