NATIONAL AUDIO BOOK MONTH GIVEAWAY
GIVEAWAY ENDEDPRIVATE
AUDIO BOOK-UNABRIDGED
BY JAMES PATTERSON
and MAXINE PAETRO
READ BY PETER HERMAN
The police can't help you
Former CIA agent Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe. It is where you go when you need maximum force and maximum discretion. The secrets of the most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily—and his staff of investigators use the world's most advanced forensic tools to make and break their cases.
The press will destroy you
Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multimillion-dollar NFL gambling scandal and the unsolved slayings of eighteen schoolgirls when he learns of a horrific murder close to home: his best friend's wife, Jack's former lover, has been killed. It nearly pushes him over the edge. Instead, Jack pushes back and devotes all of Private's resources to tracking down her killer.
Only one place to turn: Private
But Jack doesn't have to play by the rules. As he closes in on the killer and chooses between revenge and justice, Jack has to navigate a workplace love affair that threatens to blow the roof off his plans. With a plot that moves at death-defying speeds, Private is James Patterson's sleekest, most exciting thriller ever.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

"I died. I passed to the other side. I don't even know how long I was gone." Sounds like an interesting book!

From the book, "...splashing on my boots like water from a drainpipe." Great visual imagery!

It's interesting that he is a twin and his dad must've known something was going to happen to him when he summoned him....I am anxious to listen to this interesting story. Thanks, for the giveaway.

I like these ex-CIA type thrillers where they are not bound by their usual rules. And your rebus review looked interesting. ?
Thanks!

I find his website incredible, he is so prolific. But his cameo in Castle (in fact, all those guys looked like they were having so much fun) is worth a look in re-runs this summer if you missed it the first time.
JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
Well,another terrific page-turner from James Patterson. It starts off with a bang (or a murder) and progresses from there. Can't wait to read it.

Interesting - he also writes teen series (which are great for adults as well)

Patterson is my all time fave author. I like the CIA aspect he's thrown in for this book

He thought he died and he said "I just remember swimming up to the light, and the pain"....and I thought that was a cool way of saying the typical "he had seen the light" near death phrase.

Oh my gosh. That excerpt was awesome. Can't keep Jack down. I love James Patterson and knew this would be a fab book from the beginning. It is amazing the strength you have when you are running on adrenalin and war is an adrenalin rush all the time. We should pray for our military every day, to come home safely.

James Patterson received Author of the Year honors for Max at the 2010 Children's Choice Book Awards. James not only writes for adults but for children and won this awesome award for "Max".

I found it interesting that the character spoke of the first time he dies in the excerpt. I'm curious about what he meant. Did he die more than once?

OMG I absolutely love James Patterson. The excerpt certainly caught my attention when he risked his life once more to save his saviors in the helicopter. I can only imagine his pain as he was unsuccessful.

I like this on James' web site about the book
I ran across rocky ground in the dark, and I choked out to Danny, “I’ve got you; I’ve got you. Just stay with me, you hear me?”

well I liked the video that starts up a promo for his book, but you can download the first 24 chapters of the book on his site, That's a good idea most people I think would have to buy the book and need to read the rest.

well I wasn't sure it would be something I liked. I was very enthralled by what I read. Sound like a fasinating & moving book

I found it interesting that James Patterson "holds the New York Times record for most Hardcover Fiction bestselling titles by a single author (53 total), which is also a Guinness World Record."
