About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An invitation from an old friend draws Jack Morgan into a deadly conspiracy . . .

On a cold January morning, Jack Morgan stands inside the New York Stock Exchange with his former US Marine comrade whose company is being launched onto the market, eagerly awaiting the opening bell.

But before the bell rings, a bullet rips through the air and finds its mark.

In the aftermath of the murder, the victim's wife hires Jack to find the killer. As the head of Private, Jack has at his disposal the world's largest investigation agency. What he discovers shakes him to his core.

Jack identifies another murder in Moscow that appears to be linked. So he heads to Russia, and begins to uncover a conspiracy that could have global consequences.

With powerful forces plotting against him, will Jack Morgan make it out alive?

Critic reviews

Patterson and Hamdy team up for an unmissable, breakneck ride into Moscow's dark underworld.
Great action sequences . . . breathtaking twists and turns.
Exhilarating, high-stakes action set in sub-zero temperatures, but so fast-paced you won't have time to feel the chill! (Lesley Kara, bestselling author of The Rumour)
The first Private outing for couple of years, but it's been well worth the wait . . . As always in a Patterson novel there's lots of action and plot turns as Jack tries to discover the secrets that unite the murder victims as he gets tangled up in the murky world of espionage
There's enough action, adventure and excitement to fill two chunky blockbusters in Private Moscow which makes for an exhilarating and totally satisfying read. Last year I would have described it as a perfect holiday novel, now I'm saying it's an ideal companion for shaking off the new semi-isolation blues. Unlike a lot of high-octane thrillers, which can be overblown and under-serious, Private Moscow has a finger on the pulse of world affairs, a grounded seriousness that gives it gravitas and makes it an altogether more intriguing read.

I have listened to all of the Private series books and have to say this was one of my favourites. The story line moves quickly and the intercontinental balance is done well. Easy listening and kept me wanting to “not switch off” which is a good sign for any audiobook.

One of my favourite “Private” books
