출판사 설명
Former Marine Jack Morgan always uncovers the truth—but in this unforgettable thriller from the world’s #1 bestselling author, he faces his most shocking case yet.
Since former Marine Jack Morgan started Private, it has become the world's most effective investigation firm—sought out by the famous and the powerful to discreetly handle their most intimate problems. Private's investigators are the smartest, the fastest, and the most technologically advanced in the world—and they always uncover the truth.
When his former lover is found murdered in his bed, Jack Morgan is instantly the number one suspect. While Jack is under police investigation, the mob strong-arms him into recovering $30 million in stolen pharmaceuticals for them. And the beautiful manager of a luxury hotel chain persuades him to quietly investigate a string of murders at her properties.
While Jack is fighting for his life, one of his most trusted colleagues threatens to leave Private, and Jack realizes he is confronting his cleverest and most powerful enemies ever. With more action, more intrigue, and more twists than ever before, Private: #1 Suspect is James Patterson at his unstoppable best.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In chapter one of Patterson and Paetro's lackluster second novel featuring Jack Morgan (after 2010's Private), Morgan, the founder of an L.A. investigative firm "with clients all over the map who demanded and paid well for services not available through public means," returns home to his mansion from an overseas trip to discover the blood-soaked body of his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Molloy, in his bed. Whoever shot Molloy, who tried to kill herself six months earlier at the time of their breakup, has planted evidence incriminating Morgan. Before alerting the police, Morgan has forensic expert Dr. Sci and tech geek Mo-bot comb the scene, but his delay in reporting the crime only makes him more of a suspect to the LAPD. Unrelated subplots, including a serial killer who leaves his victims in different locations of a hotel chain, serve only to add to the book's length. An evil identical twin doesn't help with plausibility.

A great sequel
I really enjoyed this sequel, and see great possibilities for this series. I kind of wished that this was closer to the first book, however, instead of repeatedly hearing that Jack was innocent (no worries, that's not a spoiler, but rather a common theme).
Not the best book by James Patterson, but definitely a fast an easy read that is very enjoyable. I can't wait for the next book next month!
Good book
Overall interesting. Had a multitude of characters that I at first had trouble keeping up with.
Read it and enjoy!
Engaging characters that ring true. The plot line pulsates and oscillates brilliantly, keeping the action fresh and compelling. Not one sentence disappoints. Intelligent, engrossing and entertaining!!
