In the brand new thrilling novel in the globally bestselling Private series from Sunday Times bestselling author James Patterson, a brutal murder investigation pulls Jack Morgan to Tokyo where he must uncover a dangerous conspiracy.
---------------------------------
One secret could destroy a city...
A covert operative is murdered on the streets of Tokyo, hunted down by a masked assassin and silenced before he can expose what he's stolen.
With his final breath, he delivers a message that crosses continents: Get Jack Morgan.
Private detective Morgan arrives in Tokyo to find a city on edge.
As the investigation unleashes a chain of deadly events, it's clear he's stepped into something far bigger - and far more dangerous - than a single killing.
Could he be the next target?
