> Fiction Books > General Books

The Olympic Games have arrived in London, and the world is waiting in eager anticipation of the biggest event in global sport. The preparations have gone flawlessly and the stage is set for one of the greatest Olympic Games of the modern era. However, one man is plotting to destroy the Games. Having waited years for this chance, he is ready to exact his vengeance. When Sir Denton Marshall, key member of the London 2012 organising committee, is found decapitated in his own back garden, Peter Knight, head of the London branch of Private investigation agency, is called to the scene. Private have been hired to work alongside the security operations at the Games, so Sir Denton was a client. He was also Knight's mother's fiance. Having only recently lost close friends and colleagues at Private London in a fatal plane crash, this new personal grief threatens to push Knight over the edge. But when it becomes clear that this attack was not an isolated incident, Knight knows that he cannot afford to crack under the pressure - the fate of the Olympics rests on his shoulders.

About the Author: James Patterson

American author James Patterson (born 1947) is one of the most popular, prolific and bestselling authors around today. He is perhaps best known for his Alex Cross series, and the Women's Murder Club series featuring Lindsay Boxer.
Playing his cards close to his chest, not a lot is known about Patterson's personal life and history. He lives in Florida with his wife, Susan, and son, Jack. He has two degrees and formerly worked in advertising, as creative director for J.Walter Thompson Worldwide, until 1996 when he devoted his life full time to writing.
James often writes with co-authors, such as Liza Marklund, Andrew Gross, Maxine Paetro and Howard Roughan. He releases a new book every few months, sometimes as many as eight per year. Most end up as #1 bestsellers. He is responsible for an estimated 170 million copies of his books sold worldwide. Some of his novels have ended up as movies (Along Came A Spider, Kiss The Girls) and television shows (Mircale On The 17th Green, The Womens Murder Club) and there are more in pre-production. He has seen criticism from some peers for his writing style, which he (rightly) dismisses, saying he's a storyteller, and although some may not like him, there are certainly millions who do.
