"Ben isn't like most people. Unable to control his racing thoughts, he's a man consumed by his obsessions: movies, motorcycles, presidential trivia-and Diana Hotchkiss, a beautiful woman Ben knows he can never have. When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben's infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life. Ben soon discovers that the woman he pined for was hiding a shocking double life. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana's illicit affairs" -- from publisher's web site.

mistress submitted by lawrencekl57 on August 7, 2013, 11:25am This book seemed more like Stephen King than James Patterson. (That's a compliment, in case you were wondering!) A lot of pop culture references, but fast moving chapters.

DON'T READ IT submitted by GJBarnett2 on September 3, 2013, 7:55pm 410 pages of internal monolog by a character described on the flyleaf as an obsessive paranoid. Such fun! There's a mind to enjoy wandering around in! 20 pages in I decided I had many other things I might actually enjoy reading. A complete failure from the Patterson Mill.

arrested submitted by JulieCraig on August 25, 2018, 6:01pm Girlfriends arrested for something they didn't do. Very descriptive and suspenseful. A little disturbing, definitely for older readers. Foreign setting.

Eh. submitted by legalmama on June 23, 2022, 7:21am Typical of James Patterson in that you have a super privileged protagonist--rich, white, male, physically-capable-- but this time, he has a medical condition that makes his mind wander compulsively, especially when stressed. He owns a small online newspaper and works as a journalist. When a close female friend is murdered, he starts investigating, then unravels a conspiracy that leads to the White House, with ties to China & Russia. It has a good plot twist at the very end, but I would not have gotten that far had I brought other books with me on vacation.
