Includes excerpt from author's, "Bullseye," a Detective Michael Bennett thriller, at the end of the book.
Two years ago Jack Morgan---the head of the renowned worldwide investigation firm Private--was in charge of security for the World Cup in Bazil. During the championship final, the action nearly spilled from the field into the stands. Fortunately, Jack and his team averted disaster on football's biggest stage. Now he has returned to Rio to secure the Olympics. But before the torch is lit, the threats come fast and furious as Jack discovers that someone is trying to sabotage the games. A lethal plan put in motion during the World Cup is set to decimate Rio, and turn the Olympics from a worldwide celebration into a horrifying spectacle.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not great but OK submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 19, 2016, 8:46am Another addition to another series co-authored by James Patterson. As usual, well-written but formulaic. No surprises. Workmanlike. A good Summer patio book. Perhaps most interesting to me because of its timely nature. Set in Rio during the 2016 Olympic games, that's when I read it. Lacking that coincidence, it probably would have been even more forgetful.
