Publisher Description
It’s a brutal race to the finish line . . .
July 2012: The Games have arrived in London and the stage is set for one of the greatest ever showcases of sporting excellence.
When Sir Denton Marshall, a key member of the London Olympic organising committee, is found brutally murdered, Peter Knight, head of Private London, is called to investigate. Not only was Denton Marshall a valuable client to Private, but he was the fiancé of Knight's mother.
Knight is devastated by Denton's murder, but it soon becomes clear that this is no isolated incident. The killer is targeting the Games itself, and the lives of everyone involved are under threat.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Patterson and Sullivan's thriller, a madman commits a series of gruesome acts to stop the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Working to thwart him are Peter Knight, a troubleshooter for Private "the world's most renowned investigation firm" and tabloid reporter Karen Pope. Timed to coincide with the real London Olympics in July, the book is filled with action, suspense, gruesome death, and surprisingly a touch of romance, all ably narrated by Paul Panting. For chapters focusing on Knight, Panting employs his own voice, adding a bit of edge to his speech, while for those narrated by homicidal villain Cronus, he switches to a chillingly soft tone. Cronus's reflections are initially unemotional, but progress from arrogant to furious as his careful planning is undone by Knight. A Little, Brown hardcover.
Customer Reviews
Great
Very good read.
Private Games
I am a huge James Patterson fan but this is far and away the worst book he has written.
Over the top and at times rather unbelievable there are also too many inconsistencies. The sports aspect is also rather poorly thought out with England and not GB being quoted on a number of occasions.
Exactley what I needed
He writes so people like me get excited about books, the private series made me stop playing video games and choose to get lost in a non-stop thrill of adventure through his writing. Thank you so much James
