Book Review: Private #1 Suspect (Jack Morgan)

I believe this is one of the best books that James Patterson has written in awhile. I truly enjoyed this one.
He is one of my favorite authors, tho, some of his books lately, I didn't feel that they were that good. This one is a really good book.

Book Description


Unsolvable cases
Since former Marine Jack Morgan started Private, it has become the world's most effective investigation firm--sought out by the famous and the powerful to discreetly handle their most intimate problems. Private's investigators are the smartest, the fastest, and the most technologically advanced in the world--and they always uncover the truth.

Impossible murders

When his former lover is found murdered in Jack Morgan's bed, he is instantly the number one suspect. While Jack is under police investigation, the mob strong-arms him into recovering $30 million in stolen pharmaceuticals for them. And the beautiful manager of a luxury hotel chain persuades him to quietly investigate a string of murders at her properties.
