"Private will grab you from page one and force you to sit there
until you turn the very last page. A great start to new a series
from the master of fast-paced thrill
rides."--lorisreadingcorner.com

Paetro may well be on their way to rivaling--and possibly
surpassing--the popularity of their Women's Murder Club

Acclaim for Private
In Patterson and Sullivan's thriller, a madman commits a series of gruesome acts to stop the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Working to thwart him are Peter Knight, a troubleshooter for Private-"the world's most renowned investigation firm"-and tabloid reporter Karen Pope. Timed to coincide with the real London Olympics in July, the book is filled with action, suspense, gruesome death, and-surprisingly-a touch of romance, all ably narrated by Paul Panting. For chapters focusing on Knight, Panting employs his own voice, adding a bit of edge to his speech, while for those narrated by homicidal villain Cronus, he switches to a chillingly soft tone. Cronus's reflections are initially unemotional, but progress from arrogant to furious as his careful planning is undone by Knight. A Little, Brown hardcover. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
