Resumen del Editor

Jack Mullen is in law school in New York City when the news comes that his brother, Peter, has drowned in the ocean off East Hampton. Jack knows his brother practically grew up in the water, and that this couldn't be an accident. Someone must have wanted his brother dead.

But the police say otherwise. As Jack tries to uncover details of his brother's last night, he confronts a maddening barricade of lawyers, police, and paid protectors who separate the wealthy summer residents from local workers like Peter. 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.

Jack's relentless crusade puts him into a head-on collision with one of the most powerful and ruthless men in New York, a man who wipes out resistance with a snap of his fingers. 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. Only if he can somehow beat the rich at their own game will he be able to avenge his brother.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A slick, vastly enjoyable thriller." (Publishers Weekly)

The Beach House

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.

Beachhouse

The book was real good and the actor that read it was excellent.

Terrific Justice

Uplifting listen. Likeable characters. Clever revenge. A fitting indictment of the entitled. Fabulous narration. Highly recommended.

Fun read

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

Exciting

This is my first Patterson's book. I enjoyed listening to this one.
Can't wait to listen to his other books.

Surprised that I liked it

I was a bit cautious to purchase it because I am a die-hard A.C. fan and now adicted to The Women's club. But I really enjoyed a change, as I am sure Mr. Patterson did writting it. Good job!

Great Suspense

I loved listening to this. Drove 1300 mile while listening to this and could not wait to hear more. The audio made it seem like a movie with the very detailed discriptions.

Surprised at this great read.
