Former CIA agent Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe, for maximum force and maximum discretion. Already deep into the investigation of a multimillion-dollar NFL gambling scandal and the unsolved slayings of eighteen schoolgirls, he learns his best friend's wife, Jack's former lover, has been killed.

The secrets of the most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily—and his staff of investigators use the world's most advanced forensic tools to make and break their cases. But Jack doesn't have to play by the rules.

I did not enjoy the constant introduction of characters and sub stories but overall it was a solid mystery and I liked “Jack” our hero. I will give this series a chance.

Meh. Stock characters, cliches of both plot and writing. On the other hand, I didn't quit, so it must not have been too terrible.

The only James Patterson book I've ever read. Talk about disappointing.
