Synopsis
Chart-dominating author James Patterson launches a new series (with co-writer Maxine Paetro) with PRIVATE. Jack Morgan is familiar with dangerous and dirty work, having spent years in service of the CIA. That high-level work only partially prepares him for dramatics associated with private detection, however, when he takes over his father’s Los Angeles agency. The business is booming, so Morgan jumps on board with a full case load: there’s an unsolved multiple murder case, a pro sports gambling mess, and then his best friend’s wife gets murdered. Amidst all this work, Morgan’s extracurricular romantic entanglements further complicate things. This is classic Patterson–so readers can look forward to satiating their addiction with the sure-to-come sequels, as well as episodes of the television adaptation.
