A classic summer thriller from the most popular storyteller of our time.

When New York law student Jack Mullen learns that his brother has drowned, he knows it can't be an accident . . .

Jack Mullen is in New York City when the shocking news comes that his brother Peter has drowned in the ocean off East Hampton. Jack knows his brother and knows this couldn't be an accident — someone must have wanted his brother dead. But the powers that be say otherwise.

As Jack tries to uncover the details of his brother’s final night, he confronts a barricade of lawyers, police, and paid protectors who separate the multibillionaire summer residents from local workers like Peter.

Soon, he discovers that Peter wasn't just parking cars at the summer parties of the rich. He was making serious money satisfying the sexual needs of the richest women and men in town.

James Patterson is such a delightful writer, but this one holds the listener and doesn't let them go. It delivers what I like to think of as "reader justice", where the reader is on the side of the good guys from the first moment and they are not let down by the writer in trying to be fair or justified in it's rendering. My heart still beats for Jack, Pauline, Mack, and of course, for Peter. The characters were true to life and the listener wanted to get up and fight the "Good" fight from the get go. Thanks Mr. Patterson, I loved it.

It was a classic who done it. I thought the produced music was a little odd. Overall, a fun read.
