Private London
Synopsis
Private London, by James Patterson and Mark Pearson, launches the London arm of the bestselling Private series. Former Royal Military Police sergeant Dan Carter runs the branch, bringing the agency's elite investigative muscle to the British capital.
When American student Hannah Shapiro, once rescued by Private's founder, is pursued anew, and young women begin turning up brutally murdered, Carter is pulled into a case tangled with his own past, and with DI Kirsty Webb, his ex-wife leading the police inquiry.
With rapid short chapters, a grisly central mystery, and a string of reversals, Private London delivers classic Patterson pace transplanted to England.
