About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Private Beijing is ripped apart after an attack leaves three agents dead and the head of the team missing.

With the Beijing branch in turmoil, Private's owner and global head, Jack Morgan, immediately gets on a plane from LA.

Soon after Jack lands in China, another Private office is attacked. It's clear that the entire organisation is under threat.

As Jack launches a global investigation from unfamiliar territory, he will need the loyalty of his team now more than ever.

Critic reviews

No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. (LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. (MICHAEL CONNELLY)
James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. (IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series)
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
Patterson is in a class by himself. (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series)

Another fantastic read in the Private series. James Patterson and his co author should give themselves a huge pat on the back. Well done. Can’t wait for the next one.
