Brought to you by Penguin.

We will take on any case, solve any crime, uncover any secret.
We are Private. And we're the best.
__________________________
In Afghanistan, a US Special Forces pilot is shot down during a covert mission.

In New York, a mother is forced to flee with her two young children.


A wealthy businessman approaches Jack Morgan, head of Private - the world's largest investigation agency - with a desperate plea to track down his daughter and grandchildren, who have disappeared without a trace.

What at first seems to be a simple missing persons case soon escalates into something much more deadly, when Jack discovers the daughter is being pursued by highly trained operatives.

As Jack uncovers more of the woman's backstory, the trail leads towards Afghanistan - where Jack's career as a US Marine ended in catastrophe . . .

Jack will need to face the trauma of his past to save a family's future.

Critics Review

  • Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried… there’s no stopping his imagination.

    NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
  • No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent – which is what Jim has, in spades.

    LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series
  • Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It’s what fires off the movie projector in the reader’s mind.

    MICHAEL CONNELLY
  • James Patterson is the boss. End of.

    IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series
  • James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged.

    STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series
