Book Description:
Jack Mullen is a driven student of the law. His brother Peter is a servant of the rich, parking the cars of the Hamptons' elite -- and perhaps satisfying their more intimate needs as well. Then Peter's body is found on the beach. Jack knows the drowning was no accident, but someone's unlimited power and money have bought the cops, the judges, the system. Now Jack is learning a lesson in justice he never got in law school -- and his astonishing plan to beat the billionaires will have you reeling -- and cheering -- to the very last page.

It was an entertaining mystery, although a bit far fetched in places. It's an easy read and keeps you interested. I finished it in about a day and a half on vacation.

This is (yet another) fantastic book by James Patterson. I used to live on Long Island, and he captures the differences between "the locals" and the "summer people" perfectly. A great murder mystery with lots of twists.

I loved this book - written in a different style than some of Patterson's other books. I thought it was terrific!

Jeez! I just felt so sorry for Jack. This was really a good book, one of those you just couldn't figure out what was going on until the characters figured it out. Keeps you on your toes to see if someone else dies or not! Another good one from JP.

This was the first James Patterson that I have read. It's not something I usually read, but once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. The plot is fast-paced and interesting. It's an easy, entertaining read. If you've never read James Patterson before, give this book a try.

not my favorite by patterson

ANNA S. (SanJoseCa) wrote on 3/7/2009...


Interesting characters and a fast moving plot. But, the story is very unrealistic and a little disappointing. Having said that, if you love reading Patterson thrillers, you will love this one as well!

Maryellen H. wrote on 3/4/2009...


Fast read that keeps your attention to the very end - I am not much of a mystery reader but loved this.

This is a good book. A very fast read like most of his others. The end is somewhat far-fetched, but it is fiction!

And typical of JP. Great mindless read.
