Someone is targeting the most powerful people in Paris--only Jack Morgan can make it stop.

When Jack Morgan stops by Private's Paris office, he envisions a quick hello during an otherwise relaxing trip. But Jack is quickly pressed into duty after getting a call from his client Sherman Wilkerson, asking Jack to track down his young granddaughter, who is on the run from a brutal drug dealer. Before Jack can locate her, several members of France's cultural elite are found dead-murdered in stunning, symbolic fashion. The only link between the crimes is a mysterious graffiti tag. As religious and ethnic tensions simmer in the City of Lights, only Jack and his Private team can connect the dots before the smoldering powder keg explodes.

I love the concept of James Patterson’s Private series almost as much as I do the execution. Private is a global security and investigative agency owned by Jack Morgan, who is a very hands-on type of guy. In addition to helming Private’s headquarters in Los Angeles, Jack likes to pay visits to the agency’s offices in world capitals such as Berlin and London. Where he goes, of course, trouble follows. Mark Sullivan has been one of Patterson’s main go-to collaborative authors in this series; his keen eye for detail and background, as well as his usual flawless pacing, makes this latest installment another must-read.

As PRIVATE PARIS begins, we find Jack (following an introductory vignette that gets things rolling) in Paris enjoying a repast with Louis Langlois, who runs Private Paris and is an ex-member of the French National Police with almost three decades of service with La Crim, the brigade of the police judiciaire tasked with investigating serious crimes. Langlois is giving Jack a spirited explanation of the eccentricities of Paris and its citizens when Jack gets an unexpected telephone call from Sherman Wilkerson, one of Private’s most important clients. Wilkerson has just received a frantic call from his granddaughter, Kim --- who, for the past few years, has been running through Europe with a fast crowd --- begging him to rescue her from some drug dealers who are trying to kill her.

As it happens, the young woman is in Paris. Jack, with the extremely able (and entertaining) assistance of Langlois, leaps into action. Their attempts to keep Kim safe are hindered not only by the tenacious criminals who are after her, but also by Kim herself, for whom “high maintenance” is a default setting.
