Private
Synopsis
Jack Morgan runs Private, the world's most exclusive investigation agency, staffed by ex-CIA and Special Forces operatives and armed with cutting-edge forensic technology. A former Marine combat pilot haunted by a wartime crash, Jack is already stretched across two brutal cases: a multimillion-dollar NFL gambling and game-fixing scandal, and the unsolved murders of eighteen schoolgirls. Then the violence comes home.
His best friend's wife, a woman Jack once loved, is found murdered, and Jack throws every resource Private has into hunting her killer. As the threads of all three cases tighten around him, he is forced to weigh justice against revenge.
The opening novel of the globe-spanning Private series introduces Jack Morgan and the agency that will grow branches around the world.
