Private by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (2010, Unabridged, Compact Disc)

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.

Publisher's Note
Former Marine and CIA agent Jack Morgan inherits his father's renowned security and detective business--along with a case load that tests him to the breaking point. Getting to the bottom of an NFL gambling scandal and an unsolved LAPD investigation into 18 school girl slayings would be enough. On top of all that, Morgan takes on solving the horrific murder of his best friend's wife.

As Morgan fights the urge to exact brutal revenge on that killer, he has to navigate a workplace imbroglio that could blow the roof off his elite agency. And it's an especially explosive situation . . . because the love affair is his own.

In a thriller already in development as a major television series, former CIA agent Jack Morgan inherits his father's elite LA detective agency and along with it such cases as an NFL gambling scandal, 18 unsolved schoolgirl slayings and the murder of his best-friend's wife. Simultaneous.
