I love the concept of James Patterson’s Private series almost as much as I do the execution. Private is a global security and investigative agency owned by Jack Morgan, who is a very hands-on type of guy. In addition to helming Private’s headquarters in Los Angeles, Jack likes to pay visits to the agency’s offices in world capitals such as Berlin and London. Where he goes, of course, trouble follows. Mark Sullivan has been one of Patterson’s main go-to collaborative authors in this series; his keen eye for detail and background, as well as his usual flawless pacing, makes this latest installment another must-read.As PRIVATE PARIS begins, we find Jack (following an introductory vignette that gets things rolling) in Paris enjoying a repast with Louis Langlois, who runs Private Paris and is an ex-member of the French National Police with almost three decades of service with La Crim, the brigade of the police judiciaire tasked with investigating serious crimes. Langlois is giving Jack a spirited explanation of the eccentricities of Paris and its citizens when Jack gets an unexpected telephone call from Sherman Wilkerson, one of Private’s most important clients. Wilkerson has just received a frantic call from his granddaughter, Kim --- who, for the past few years, has been running through Europe with a fast crowd --- begging him to rescue her from some drug dealers who are trying to kill her.As it happens, the young woman is in Paris. Jack, with the extremely able (and entertaining) assistance of Langlois, leaps into action. Their attempts to keep Kim safe are hindered not only by the tenacious criminals who are after her, but also by Kim herself, for whom “high maintenance” is a default setting.
