Jack Mullen is a driven student of the law. His brother Peter is a servant of the rich, parking the cars of the Hamptons' elite-and perhaps satisfying their more intimate needs as well. Then Peter's body is found on the beach. Jack knows the drowning was no accident, but someone's unlimited power and money have bought the cops, the judges, the system. Now Jack is learning a lesson in justice he never got in law school ... and his astonishing plan to beat the billionaires will have you reeling-and cheering-to the very last page.

I enjoyed this book until the end. I absolutely hated how it ended. I was upset about it for days afterwards.
This was one of my first JP books and after I read it, I WAS HOOKED ON JP. This book was fast paced for me and I loved the characters and the mystery. I couldn't wait to get my hands on more of his books following this read.
It seems there is a lot of hype about James Patterson's books. It was the first James Patterson "mystery" I read and am not rushing to read another one.
Very quick read, but wasn't crazy about the story line. Was basically about rich people thinking they can do whatever they like and get away with it.
Back home from New York and reading this book based on a recommendation of my first bunkmate. The first Patterson I ever read, but most certainly not the last! It was the perfect just-came-home-from-a-summer-away-before-school-starts read.
