Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
By the #1 bestselling author of Lifeguard, a gleaming new summer thriller set in the luxurious Hamptons.
Montauk lawyer Tom Dunleavy's client list is woefully small--occasional real estate closings barely keep him in paper clips. When he is hired to defend a local man accused in a triple murder that has the East Hampton world in an uproar, he knows that he has found the case of his lifetime.
The crime turns the glittering playground of the super-rich into a blazing inferno. Dunleavy's client is a local hero, but Dunleavy knows the case rests atop a volcano of money, deception, and forbidden desires. His client is the perfect fall guy--unless he can find the key that unlocks the secret rooms of the gilt-shrouded set.
When Dunleavy is joined by his former flame, the savvy and well-connected attorney Kate Costello, he believes he has a chance. But payback is a bitch--especially from the rich. The violent retaliations of billionaires threatened by his investigation exceed anything Dunleavy has ever seen. With the entire nation's eyes on him in a new Trial of the Century, Dunleavy orchestrates a series of revelations that lead to a stunning outcome--only to find afterward that the truth is wilder than anything he ever imagined.

I usually pride myself on being able to figure out the "culprit" before the end of the book; I was quite surprised!
I personally like that James Patterson writes short chapters because I can put the book down at the end of a chapter.....or if I want to read a little more, the subsequent chapter won't be very long either.
I've passed this book along to friends and they were as surprised as I was at the ending.

disappointing.

Couldn't put it down. It takes a while to get the characters straight but is worth the effort. A tale of a group of guys on Long Island who get together to play basketball. Tempers flare and a tragedy is averted. Or is it? Not long after, some of the players turn up dead. Were the murders related to the game? As is characteristic of other books by Patterson, this collaborative work between James Patterson and Peter DeJonge has very short, quick moving chapters that leave the reader saying "just one more chapter" until you realize you are at the end.Poodlums, Boogeymen and Booglers: A Poetry CollectionMy Tongue Fell Out

First, there's a reason some authors like Twain and Tolstoy are taught in classic lit courses and authors like Patterson are found on bookshelves at airports. Second, my only thought upon finishing this book was, "There's about three hours of my life I'll never get back." Third, the ending was not, as some say, "stunning". Quite simply it was stupid. Absolutely unconnected with anything in the book which preceded it. Turned an already weak book into a horrible one. Fourth, I picked this book up at a thrift store for 25 cents. I overpaid. Lastly, if this book is indicative of his other books how does this guy continue to get published? More importantly, why do we as readers continue to buy his books?

This book has the positive attributes that made me a fan of Patterson. The character were real and the setting seeming genuine. The ending was worthy. I recommend this read.
