Private Games
Synopsis
London, 2012. Private, the world's most elite investigation firm, has been hired to provide security for the Olympic Games, with Peter Knight leading the London office. Moments before the opening ceremony, a senior member of the organising committee is murdered, and a reporter for a London tabloid receives a chilling letter.
The writer calls himself Cronus and claims to be restoring the ancient purity of the Games by executing everyone he deems to have corrupted them. As the Olympics unfold before a global audience, Cronus and his followers strike again and again, penetrating security and even reaching into Knight's own home.
Racing against a killer who seems to anticipate every move, Knight must protect his family and unmask a fanatic hidden in plain sight before the closing ceremony.
