A prominent businessman's son staggers into a bash - both his eyes gouged out - and breathes his last. A broker (need I say wealthy?) has mysteriously disappeared and his wife is afraid to go the cops because she isn't sure what her husband does is completely legal. A famous rock star is worried that his manager is doing all he can to bump him off so he can join the club of musicians who died when they were 27. The wife of a wealthy citizen is found brutally murdered a few distance away from her home - stabbed in the back multiple times and fake money stuffed in her body. Turns out she is the first victim of a serial killer hell bent on murdering rich housewives. The PI agency seems to have its hands full after opening their branch in Australia.
And I wondered how the author is going to tie all the threads for 4 criminal cases in one novel. But he manages to pull off this seemingly impossible feat spectacularly. The only thing is that by the time I turned the last page, I felt as if I have had too much of crime and blood and gore.
Of course, Patterson is not to be blamed for that. It's just that I have been reading too many of these crime thrillers lately. Time to take a break!
