Product Description
Product Description
The perfect job. Working for an easy-going boss at his luxurious mansion by the sun-kissed beach, watching beautiful women walk by.
The perfect girl. Tess – gorgeous, funny, apparently very rich and crazy for him.
The perfect score. Five million up for grabs. And to get his share, all he needs to do is trigger three house alarms to throw the cops off the scent of the real robbery.
Could things get any better for Ned Kelly?
But things don’t go according to plan. And when Tess is brutally murdered and the others involved in the robbery are massacred, Ned is the prime suspect. With danger at every twist and turn, he’s running for his life.
James Patterson skilfully delivers an addictive cocktail of suspense, surprise and tension that will keep you gripped to the very end.

I envy the easy that Patterson writes with. I have only read one bad book from him. I like the fact that he manages to publish many books in a year. I like that the chapters are short. And I love the ease that everything moves pure action. Once again this book is good read a real grabber!

I read all James Pattersons books and although I still prefer the Alex Cross series I enjoyed this book.
I read it in one day while on holiday. The story is intruiging and fast pace giving you a hero you can relate to and a villain you could hate!
Altogether another edition to a long line of JP non-put-down-ables!

.....this is just tosh, not the standard I expected from Patterson (certainly not anywhere near the standard of Alex Cross novels anyway). An absolutely unbelievable story and an incredible hero who seems to be a product of an early teens fantasist - Kelly not only has blonde hair he has thick blonde hair, he doesn't just make love he makes love 3 times, even his history is pure romanticism, bad boy made good who suffers a miscarriage of justice and has a resume of baseball player, teacher, lifeguard! The only saving grace is that it's a quick read given Patterson's trademark short paragraphs, thank goodness.
I'm not even going to burden my charity shop with my copy.

Dreadful, cheap, lazy effort by a writer who should know better. If I was scoring this book out of ten million stars, I'd give it zero. Read more
