The
Beach House by James Patterson
& Peter de Jonge
Published by Headline, 2002
Jack
Mullen is the main character in this action-packed thriller. He
is the law student grandson of a County Clare emigrant. Jack's grandfather
moved to the east coast of America to find a better life. The story
begins with the untimely death of Jack's younger brother. Not convinced
that his brother died due to suicide or an accident, Jack sets out
to prove his fears. This turns out to be the toughest job of his
young life.
This
story is wound tightly with corruption and crime. The rich and powerful
will do everything they possibly can to protect themselves and stop
Jack from discovering the truth. James Patterson and Peter de Jonge
team up well to take you on the rollercoaster ride that is Jack's
experience of love, life and loss. Fans of Patterson will not be
disappointed. Those who haven't discovered him yet will want to
read anything else he has written. Do the "little" people
win out and is justice done? I guarantee that you will relish finding
out!
