The Summer House

The Classic Blockbuster from the Author of Lion & Lamb

By: James Patterson, Brendan DuBois

Narrated by: Ari Fliakos

When seven murder victims are found in a small town, the homicide investigation shakes a small-town sheriff to her core in James Patterson's tense thriller.

Once a luxurious southern getaway on a rustic lake, then reduced to a dilapidated crash pad, the Summer House is now the grisly scene of a nighttime mass murder. Eyewitnesses point to four Army Rangers—known as the Night Ninjas—recently returned from Afghanistan.

To ensure that justice is done, the Army sends Major Jeremiah Cook, a veteran and former NYPD cop, to investigate. But the major and his elite team arrive in sweltering Georgia with no idea their grim jobs will be made exponentially more challenging by local law enforcement, who resists the Army's intrusion and stonewall them at every turn.

As Cook and his squad struggle to uncover the truth behind the condemning evidence, the pieces just won't fit—and forces are rallying to make certain damning secrets die alongside the victims in the murder house. With his own people in the cross-hairs, Cook takes a desperate gamble to find answers—even if it means returning to a hell of his own worst nightmares . . .

Summer House Doesn't Disappoint

Interesting plot that keeps you in suspense until the last page. Easy read that is not complicated to follow and is great to relax and enjoy.

Perfectly paced, sufficiently interesting and very well performed.

This unusual story would make a great movie. All the necessary elements. Intrigue, loyalty, fear, determination, and fierce justice.

I highly recommend the read!

Made it through

From the beginning there are so many different characters that I was easily confused until I got the gist. As unlikely a story as the premise was, I was sucked in and towards the end engrossed to the point of 3:00 AM listening.

Great book!

Once I started reading it I couldn't stop! Great suspenseful story leaves you on the edge of your seat! Another James Paterson masterpiece!
