Private Paris

PRIVATE is a global security and investigative agency, founded by Jack Morgan, and Jack heads the PRIVATE team. Louis Langlois heads up the Paris office of PRIVATE. In Chapter One, another, but connected story begins, where someone is targeting the most powerful people in Paris, and only Jack Morgan can make it stop.

Midway through Chapter One, Jack, who is in Paris, learns, from a phone call from Sherman Wilkerson, that he is worried about his only grand daughter, Kimberly Kochinsky. He had just gotten off the phone with her, and she had said there were drug dealers hunting for her, trying to kill her, and had begged him to send someone to save her. Wilkerson then asked Jack if he would go. Jack had replied that of course he would.,,And he goes, and does save her.

In THIS novel, which starts in a building in Paris, Epee (The Sword) looked to his north, beyond an Islamic bookstore, toward the office of FEZ couriers, a messenger service. She was right where he remembered her to be from his scouting trip the week before. He reached down, tugged the kaffyeh scarf up over his lower face and began to jog toward his target. His target was a mosque, and his weapons? Two cans of spray paint. The graffiti tag was of his own design, blood read and dripping, blood red and dripping, and said: AB-16. After escaping from the police, who had been waiting, expecting that he would arrive, the sword thought, as he moved on, only 48 to go. And so begins a tale, in Paris, of drug dealing, violence and explosions, and snipers shooting people in the streets from high buildings, all meant to take over the city in the name of AB-16.

Unfortunately, there are many, too many detrimental factors that require much skimming to find content, including, but not limited to, extended descriptions of mundane events and activities that require skimming before content is found. Were it not for these detrimental factors, PRIVATE PARIS would have been an exciting novel to read. With them, it is just O K.

I’m a James Patterson fan. I pre-order his books as soon as their announced. Often that means months of wait expectantly. I was not disappointed by Private Paris.

Jack Morgan, the owner and founder of Private, goes to Paris at the request of a client to find his grand daughter and bring her home. Things rapidly spin outed control when the girl disappears soon after Morgan finds her.

The story involves the Paris police and to complicate matter more complicated, unrest in the Muslim ghettos breaks out into,ajar riots. Jack Morgan gets involved when a threat is made to Private Paris.

This complication pits organ against the police and the Minister of Justice. Both want him deported ASAP.

You’ll enjoy this book if you’re a fan of international intrigue. I recommend reading Private Paris.

‘Private’ is a robust, multi-location security firm and ‘Paris’ is its branch office, ergo, ‘Private Paris’. Private has multiple capabilities; surveillance, guard security, world-class forensics labs, investigations, etc. and seemingly unlimited resources although they regularly use Uber cabs rather than armored limos and the company principals get their hands dirty with foot chases and vaulting walls. This adventure delves into a terrorist cell that wants nothing less than a total ethnic war in France leading to the total expulsion of all Muslims. A cheeky and big-canvas conceit. There are the lightest of romantic suggestions but no action unlike the obligatory boffing in most current mysteries. The book was engaging and ultimately satisfying. A worthy romp.

Private Paris is the continuing series of Jack Morgan and his Private security company. In this book, Jack is searching for a rich client’s relative and assisting in a murder investigation.

Private Paris picks up less than year later from the previous book Private Vegas. In the James Patterson style, book moves at a fast pace, with multiple storylines. Also has the short chapters, which I prefer.

Looking forward to the next book in series, Private Games.

Definitely recommend this book to James Patterson fans. Will not be disappointed.

Old friends and new recruits work well together providing leads and evidence.in this story placed in Paris one job for a long term client led into a modern terrorist attack Crimes occur in LA, France,and on the seas. Two seemingly separate cases have a link which gave valued information to solving both.

The story provides a fascinating and sometimes shocking look at the culture and history of the French. Art, politics, food, and lifestyle blend. Relationships among the characters telling the story vary in depth and duration. Yet, each had valuable information to contribute to the solutions.

Thus, a strong recommendation for this book.
