When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben's infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life. He soon discovers that the woman he pined for was hiding a shocking secret. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana's illicit affairs.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kevin T. Collins brings plenty of energy to his reading of this latest offering from Patterson and Ellis. Journalist Ben Casper is paranoid and obsessive, and chief among his obsessions is the beautiful, but unobtainable, woman of his dreams, Diana Hotchkiss. When Diana is found dead, after a fall from her high-rise apartment, the authorities deem it a suicide. But Ben is convinced that her death was really murder and sets out to prove it only to discover that Diana was leading a double life. Kevin T. Collins hands in a first-rate performance in this audio edition. His narration is well paced and crisp, and he skillfully captures the essence of Ben's character. Collins manages to deliver thrills and plenty of fun in this audiobook that will appeal to listeners who don't need to take their thrillers too seriously. A Little, Brown and Company hardcover.
Customer Reviews
MISTRESS
This book was NOT written by Patterson.
Can't believe he allowed his name on this book.
All the ridiculous mentions to old movies, old tv shows old books etc, makes you realize that the current writer of this book just needed to fill up space. I did not start enjoying this book till about chapter 99.
Not Right!
J.P.'s name may be on this book, but there is no way this is his story. The movie/tv references throughout this story is maddening and amount to just filler verbal vomit. This book is just not even close to the quality and expectations that are usually associated with James Patterson's name. As a loyal and avid reader of all things James Patterson, I hate to say it, but I feel deceived and cheated by this purchase. Mr. Patterson, if your hearts not in it, please quit "co writing" and lending your name to lesser authors. You may think doing this helps other lesser known writers, and it may, but it is also helping people like me start to doubt whether I want to invest my time, money or energy in your future books.
