Book Description:
The danger isn't in the water. As a lifeguard in Florida resort, Ned Kelly meets the woman of his dreams. It feels perfect except that she prefers caviar and Manolo Blahniks, and he is used to burgers and flip flops.

So when Ned's cousin offers him a rich deal, Ned can't turn him down. It is just a fast break and enter. The risk is high, and the reward even greater - $5 million.

The story is simple, GOOD GUY (although he has a bad side...he is a thief) meets Tess, a hottie on the beach (we later learn she is not what she seems...well you can guess that..no one is perfect). Anyway, life couldn't get any better....you have been offered an opportunity to make quick (although illegal) money and get the girl of your dreams....when, the unexpectant happens (all your friends who are involved in the heist are murdered, as well as the chick you have fallen for) and you are framed for their deaths. Now the story begins, who killed your friends and your lover and why? While Ned Kelly struggles to find out the truth about who is behind his trouble, he meets another woman, Ellie, a FBI agent who specializes in Art to help him discover the truth. As a host of other characters and villians are revealed, you will find yourself rooting that Ned's luck changes soon. I suggest that you give this easy and quick read a chance and enjoy. There are some interesting revelations and plots.

A story of a young man coming from an improvished background who gets mixed up with art thieft, murder and a love interest which is unusual...a petty thief and an FBI agent......Drama keeps you on the edge of your seat with each turn of the page.....One of the best Patterson/Gross novels. You will enjoy it.

I love James patterson novels and this one did not dissapoint me. It was a great read and I couldn't put it down. I'm still a little unclear as to how everything happened and how everyone was involved, but I get the jist of it. Very enjoyable read.

This book was such a page turner. You think you might have it figured out, but then something happens that you didn't expect. Keep you guessing until the very end. This was the first James Patterson book I have read and now I am hooked.

Patterson and Gross seem to make a pretty good writing team, as this was certainly a solid read about a lifeguard on the run from the law. He manages to hook up with an FBI agent, and they untangle a web of lies to set him free.

Nothing particularly original or earth shattering about the story, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.

Good story line. Set in Palm Beach County. Nice to see places I'm familiar with.

Nothing special or memorable about this book. It was well written mixing suspense with love and sex. If you need a filler book this would serve the need.

I loved this book! I have read several of James Patterson's books in the past after a co-worker got me hooked on them over 5 years ago. I like that his chapters are quite short and almost always exciting! This book took place back and forth between Florida and Boston area. It was full of excitement and unexpected plot twists. I enjoyed the entire book and devoured it quickly!

Great, surprising read about a lifeguard who's more than a lifeguard, and a rich woman who has it all and is more than she appears. James Patterson's usual twists and turns guaranteed i didnt put it down before the book was over. Did not dissapoint.
