Private: James Patterson

This was the first of a new series for Patterson with the detective Jack Morgan. As with the James Bond series, Jack Morgan is a ladies man who solves crime outside of the "rules". I am not sure why the "heroes" always have to have a love interest and a love scene in every episode- where is there time for that in reality? Anyway- Jack is hired by both his Uncle, who own a major league team and suspects the refs are being paid off to rig the game. Jack finds out the pay off is being financed by the Mob. He also investigates into his friend's wife's murder. By the end he finds out the friend paid to have his wife killed because she was a drug addict and still prostituting. Jack also set out to find out who was luring school age girls to locations where they were killed. This was a sick game by computer nerds who wanted to show how their moves in the game could be used in real life by targeting and killing younger girls. The book was nice in that there were 3 jobs being worked at the same time and it built the suspense as well as was entertaining x 3.
