Book description
Former US Marine 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.
In L. A., Jack is already deep into the investigation of a
multimillion-dollar 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. And Jack
doesn't have to play by the rules.
