Private Paris

Private Paris by James Patterson & Mark Sullivan, 411 pages

"Someone is targeting the most powerful people in Paris--only Jack Morgan can make it stop.  When Jack Morgan stops by Private's Paris office, he envisions a quick hello during an otherwise relaxing trip. But Jack is quickly pressed into duty after getting a call from his client Sherman Wilkerson, asking Jack to track down his young granddaughter, who is on the run from a brutal drug dealer. Before Jack can locate her, several members of France's cultural elite are found dead-murdered in stunning, symbolic fashion. The only link between the crimes is a mysterious graffiti tag. As religious and ethnic tensions simmer in the City of Lights, only Jack and his Private team can connect the dots before the smoldering powder keg explodes."  This is typical Patterson although the longer chapter length and slightly more depth gives away that these aren't completely Patterson.  I like them a little better for it.  Some of Patterson's fans may prefer his classic style and appreciate the fact that his books are such quick reads.  These are still fairly quick but not as much because they have a little more meat to them.  Some fans will like that the book takes a little longer so they have something to read while waiting for the next book.
