Private Rogue: (Private 16) Patterson, James

Jack Morgan's security firm has handled kidnappings, assassinations, and global conspiracies — but this time, it's personal. When his most trusted lieutenant goes missing, Jack follows the trail to a private military contractor with ties to governments, cartels, and something far darker. The investigation spirals from California to the jungles of South America, where every lead comes with a body count and every ally might be a traitor. Patterson delivers his trademark rapid-fire chapters and relentless pacing, turning a corporate thriller into something closer to espionage warfare. If you're looking for a high-octane page-turner that doesn't slow down for breath, this is your weekend sorted. Fans of Baldacci and Flynn will feel right at home.
