According to Guinness World Records™ James Patterson has had more New York Times bestsellers than anyone else…ever. In his new white-knuckle thrill ride, the Edgar® Award-winning author is at his unstoppable best as he pays a return visit to former Marine Jack Morgan, whose investigation firm, Private, has become the go-to place for clients in need of discretion almost as much as results. But as Private: #1 Suspect opens, Jack is the one under investigation after the body of his former lover somehow winds up in his bed. Now the cops’ prime suspect, it’s not easy for Jack to give them the slip when the mob strong-arms him into recovering thirty million bucks in stolen pharmaceuticals. And, having fallen victim to the persuasive powers of a beautiful hotel chain manager, he’s committed to figuring out who’s behind a string of murders on her properties. As if things couldn’t get worse, suddenly one of Jack’s most trusted operatives is threatening to leave. The only thing that’s become crystal clear is that someone with a lot of muscle is trying to destroy everything Jack has worked for, which is totally unacceptable for a tough ex-Marine for whom losing is never an option….
