*The police can't help you*
Former CIA agent 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 sleekest, most exciting thriller ever.

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.
I like James Patterson but I did not enjoy this book at all. The story was not interesting and the characters were boring. I will try another Private novel before I make a final decision on the Private series.
