Private Games
The world's most renowned investigation firm is in charge of security for the Olympic Games. But when a killer strikes hours before the event, they must stop him in his tracks.
Private, the world's most renowned investigation firm, has been commissioned to provide security for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Its agents are the smartest, fastest, and most technologically advanced in the world, and 400 of them have been transferred to London to protect more than 10,000 competitors who represent more than 200 countries.
The opening ceremony is hours away when Private investigator and single father of twins, Peter Knight, is called to the scene of a ruthless murder. A high-ranking member of the games' organizing committee has been killed. It's clear to Peter that this wasn't a crime of passion, but one of precise calculation and execution.
Newspaper reporter Karen Pope receives a letter from a man claiming responsibility for the murders. He promises to restore the Olympics to their ancient glory and to destroy all those who have corrupted the games with lies, corruption, and greed. Immediately, Karen hires Private to examine the letter, and she and Peter uncover a criminal genius who won't stop until he's completely destroyed the modern games. "America's #1 storyteller" delivers an exhilarating, action-packed thriller that brings the splendor and emotion of the Olympics to a wildly powerful climax (Forbes).

Having read the first 2 books in this series I thought this one would be even better. This ran slower than molasses. I had a hard time keeping myself interested. Unfortunately I’m done with this particular series.

I liked this book because it got to the point quickly. Many of James’s books in the Private series lean to adding more around simple solutions we as readers have already thought. It’s frustrating when you all try to amp it or extend it - when it’s not necessary. You need to assess when enough is enough!

Had trouble getting into the story. Lot of characters were introduced in first half. Almost gave up and quit reading. But hung in there and glad I did.
