Pulse pounding globe crossing action that will shock and awe from the first page to the last.

Imagine standing next to a friend, having that friend ask for your help just moments before, and then watching that friend get shot right in front of you.

When the victim's wife hires Jack and his team to find the killer he hits the ground running, from New York to Moscow this mystery unravels while opening the doors to so many moments that left me holding my breath.

The Private series is one of my favorites and one of the reasons that James Patterson is one of my favorite authors and this book continued my love for the series.

Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for providing an advance copy of this E-Book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Once again the Private series knocks it out of the park! I love this series and love getting back into the lives of the people in the book! I hope that Jack & Justine can actually make it work again! This was a great mix of Private Russia & Private NYC and I hope for more mashups of different regions of Private in the future!!

This is the 15th book in the Private series. If you're a fan of the series or James Patterson then you'll enjoy this book. There's a reason that James Patterson has such a vast audience of readers. He has a way of touching and pulling his readers into his stories. This one is no different.

Jack Morgan receives an invitation from his old Marine buddy br be with him at the New York Stock Exchange while his company goes public. While standing and waiting for the bell to ring, his friend is murdered. His friends wife hires Jack to help solve the murder, which brings Jack to Russia.

This story goes back and forth between Russia and the USA with chapters while the story flawlessly flows along. Unlike many of books I've read, it was obvious that there was much research done on the setting of thy cities that took place. I have a habit of looking up places in thy books I'm reading. Often, I'm left disappointed but I looked up a street in Russia and was left delighted. Those are the small details that sets Patterson apart from other authors.

In true Patterson form, you're in the edge of your seat and not wanting to put the book down. You'll be carrying your book with you as you move from room to room. You'll be shocked with the twists and turns.

Thanks to Netgalley, James Patterson, and his publishers for the ARC of Private Moscow.
