Overview:

Review:

I’d mentioned previously that James Patterson seems to knock these books out very fast. As a result at times, some of them result in a feeling of “I’ve read this before”. In this case, it was a different spin, I’ve not read from him before. It involved mobsters, killing, and a reporter (rather than a detective), who seems to manage to always find himself in a scrape. He’s got mobster’s on one side wanting to protect him, mobster’s on the other wanting to kill him

At the same time, he’s trying to sort out his feelings for close friend and boss, Courtney. Courtney is engaged to Thomas Ferramore, and a sex scandal is there as a subplot to this book. People die, there are car chases, shootouts, fights, everything you’d expect from a mob story.

If your a fan of Patterson, I’d suggest you read this book, I think it’d be a bit of a change of pace. As usual there is strong language, violence, etc. so reader discretion is advised.
