The world's most renowned investigation firm is in charge of security
for the Olympic Games. But when a killer strikes hours before the event,
they must stop him in his tracks.
Private, the world's most renowned investigation firm, has been
commissioned to provide security for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Its agents are the smartest, fastest, and most technologically advanced
in the world, and 400 of them have been transferred to London to protect
more than 10,000 competitors who represent more than 200 countries.
The opening ceremony is hours away when Private investigator and single
father of twins, Peter Knight, is called to the scene of a ruthless
murder. A high-ranking member of the games' organizing committee has
been killed. It's clear to Peter that this wasn't a crime of passion,
but one of precise calculation and execution.
Newspaper reporter Karen Pope receives a letter from a man claiming
responsibility for the murders. He promises to restore the Olympics to
their ancient glory and to destroy all those who have corrupted the
games with lies, corruption, and greed. Immediately, Karen hires Private
to examine the letter, and she and Peter uncover a criminal genius who
won't stop until he's completely destroyed the modern games. "America's
#1 storyteller" delivers an exhilarating, action-packed thriller that
brings the splendor and emotion of the Olympics to a wildly powerful
climax (Forbes).
