They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. However, I consider popular fiction especially the current one, really thought-provoking; it is not just a story of revenge of the hero for his brother’s death, rather, the author painstakingly narrates the decay in the society, child abuse, pornography, drug abuse, the illicit relationship between the authorities (including judiciary and police) and the bourgeoisie. All I had to do was open the glove compartment and look at the registration, but that would have spoiled the surprise.

Motivated by a hundred forms of grief, Jack rallies his hometown friends to help him find the truth of Peter’s death – no matter how rich or corrupt the people who stand in their way.This was the first audiobook that I've read (and I've read a lot) that has musical sound effects to compliment the narrator.

They feel genuine and realistic, and you almost instantly fear like the similar kind of injustice can happen to you. I read the reviews before I bought it, and although some of the reviews found this to be an excellent read, others were not very complimentary. I know it left me cheering along as Jack stuck it to those who had caused him and his family (among others) so much harm.As it unfolds that his brother was involved with some of the richest women and men in America-in ways Jack never imagined-his dream of justice fades. Patterson is not necessarily one of my favorite authors, but I decided to give one of his books a go again, as I had nothing else to read in the house.

I've only read one other book by him, but The Beach House impressed me so much that it gets an ultimate recommendation. Peter's brother, Jack, a brilliant law student and later a lawyer, goes about to prove that Peter was murdered. He could have well given another climax or feature for the antagonist’s characterization instead of saying he spreads HIV virus though it is required for the successful ending of the story. A week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been.Again, I'm not sure whether this is something about Patterson's writing that I failed to notice before or can be chalked up to De Jonge's influence, but either way, I think I'll stick with the Alex Cross novels. Much of the book is breezy and lighthearted, devoid of the sadism that characterizes Patterson's thrillers.
