James Patterson

Lifeguard James Patterson

Working as a lifeguard in a posh Florida resort, Ned Kelley finds the woman of his dreams. The only thing he needs is money. So when his friends offer to cut him into a deal that promises $1,000,000 each, how can he turn it down? The plan is simple: a fast break-and-enter to grab paintings from a rich collector. But on the night of the heist, they're double-crossed. Worse, Ned's friends are brutally executed. Now he's the prime target of both the FBI and the killers. With no one to trust, Ned must dodge the authorities and the vicious killers in a desperate effort to avenge his friends and clear his name. Written with the astonishing velocity and hairs breadth plotting that only James Patterson can master, Lifeguard is the wildest thriller yet from "one of America's most influential authors" (New York Times).
