About the book

Jack Morgan runs Private, a high-stakes investigation firm inherited from his father that utilizes advanced forensic technology and a global network of agents. The story follows Morgan as he balances three high-pressure cases simultaneously: a multi-million dollar gambling scandal involving the NFL, a string of brutal murders targeting schoolgirls, and the personal tragedy of his former sister-in-law’s homicide. Operating outside the bureaucratic limits of the LAPD, Morgan uses his specialized resources to track killers and protect the reputations of his elite clientele while navigating his own complicated family history.

This book serves readers who enjoy fast-paced procedural mysteries centered on high-tech surveillance and private intelligence. It appeals to those interested in the logistical advantages of private security over traditional law enforcement. Readers finish the book with a perspective on how private wealth can bypass public legal systems to achieve swift, often violent, justice. It provides a detailed look at the intersection of corporate interests and forensic science within the framework of a modern urban thriller.
