Publisher Description

Jack Morgan is a war hero. Returning home from Afghanistan after being wounded, Jack is called into California State Prison to visit his father, Tom, who is serving a life sentence for extortion and murder. Before being incarcerated, Tom ran a private investigation firm called 'Private'. Tom wants Jack to re-start the company, to make it great again, and gives him access to a $15 million dollar account in the Cayman Islands to do it with.

Five years later and Jack has set up offices spanning the globe. Private's services are much sort after and Jack has clients ranging from movie stars to politicians. Jack is keen to keep the business legal and not fall into the same traps as his father. But when the mob come calling, they are not easy to refuse.

On a rare night off accompanying a client to the Golden Globe awards, Jack receives a phone call from school friend Abbie Cushman. Abbie's wife has been murdered and he desperately needs Jack's help. The murder is brutal and with no apparent motive; fingers begin pointing towards Abbie. Jack is certain that Abbie didn't kill his wife, but he will have to work night and day to prove it.

Meanwhile, Jack's second-in-command at Private, Justine Smith, is helping the L.A.P.D. in a serial killer investigation. Over the past two years, twelve school girls from the same area in L.A. have been murdered. The killings are highly professional and so far the Police have no leads whatsoever. Justine has been called in to make use of her experience and Private's resources. A breakthrough is desperately needed, because these killings show no signs of stopping.

*A Promising Start*

Introducing Jack Morgan. He is now the owner of a company called ‘Private’ they are who you call when you want to the best to investigate a problem. They are discreet and hold many secrets of the rich and famous high profile clients. They are professional and have many contacts and have access to the most high tech forensic equipment at their disposal.

On this occasion they are trying to find out who is murdering schoolgirls, the suspect’s trap is to gain access digitally by cloning the girls mobile phones and gaining the trust of the girls by posing as a friend in the victim’s contacts and asking to meet up. Running along side this is the murder of his best friend’s wife, who is someone who Jack had a previous relationship with.

Now the beauty of their company is that they are not beholden to all the rules that law enforcement have to abide by. A very engaging story that ran at a great pace, I could have easily got through this in one sitting.

Boring!

The voice of the reader was tedious. I was so bored with it I couldn’t remember what had been read. Just shut off completely.Ted
