*Desperate Acts*
This is book #15 in the Private Series. This was much better than I expected and it was thrilling and fraught with danger.
This was a tough ask for Jack Morgan the head of ‘Private’ a fast growing investigation service. They are high tech and very advanced and use the best people.
This instalment sees Jack in the New York stock exchange to support his former USA marine friend Karl. He is there to launch his company when the unthinkable happens. His friend Karl is assassinated right in front of his eyes.
Karl’s family hire Jack and his team are to investigate.
Unbeknownst to Jack, his investigations will take him to Moscow. That is when the drama really ramps up and what Jack finds out about his friend Karl will blow his mind. He begins to wonder what on Earth his friend was involved in. None of it tallies with the man he knew.
Then Jack soon discovers what he has got himself into and the conspiracy goes deeper than even he imagined. The scale of the conspiracy means that he and his Moscow Private agency contacts become the targets of a rogue team who have people in high places with high reaches. Then, Jack is not only fighting to clear his name but trying to save America in a nail biting showdown….
Never a dull moment
I am probably not very used to read action/thrillers but this story not only keeps you tense but has action at every given minute.
To give away any other details will spoil the plot for many and I should pass.
I liked the fast pace, the description of places I don’t know and the attitude of the main character. I guess that given the dense plot, to read the book would give the reader more of a chance to slow down when needed.
