by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

Gratuitous sex and violence to go along with your poolside margarita.

Patterson’s latest is perfect summer reading if you like lots of sex and violence to go with your poolside margarita. He teams up yet again with Maxine Paetro for this disturbing, fast-paced thriller. The two trot out one of the most chilling villains yet: Henri Benoit, a hired killer who targets young women. Benoit videotapes his slayings and sends the tapes to “The Alliance,” a mysterious death group that employs him. Be warned—this book contains very graphic scenes.
