Private Berlin ( Private book 5)
By James Patterson

Private, the world's most respected investigation firm, has branches around the world, each staffed with the smartest, fastest, and most advanced agents, who have cutting-edge forensic tools that not even the most powerful governments possess.

At Private Berlin, agent Chris Schneider has disappeared. Chris had taken a secretive personal leave and hadn't spoken to anyone from the office in days. The Private team retraces his footsteps to the cases he was investigating before his disappearance: a billionaire suspected of cheating on his wife, a world-famous soccer player accused of throwing games, and the owner of a seedy nightclub. They were the last people to see Chris--and they're all suspects. And someone is lying.

The Private team is led to an abandoned Nazi slaughterhouse where all hope vanishes. As Private digs further into Chris's past, a terrifying history is revealed, and they begin to suspect that someone very dangerous and very depraved is responsible for Chris's disappearance. And he's not finished in Berlin. PRIVATE BERLIN has more twists, action, and deception than any other James Patterson thriller ever.


This was my favourite in this series so far! I loved it so much suspense and guessing I really enjoy catching up with Jack too! Highly recommend this series.

I wept.
I saw all of the Smokey and the Bandit movies when I was a kid, at the drive-in, no less. And Burt Reynold's was pretty hot stuff both in his looks and as box office gold back in the day. I didn't think much of him from the mid-to-late '80s until 1997 when he popped up in Boogie Nights. He was great in that role, but I didn't give him much thought after that until I saw this movie, even when he died. Now, I don't think I'll forget or dismiss him so easily. There is a great undercurrent of regret and sadness in this movie and of Reynold's wanting to relive simpler times, reminisce, and make amends to those hurt and forgotten along the way. There is a depth I was not expecting and I felt things I did not expect to feel. My boyfriend and I both cried gently at the beauty and pain of this film. I usually try to hide my tears in embarrassment when I am moved by a film but I didn't hide them here. The emotions were palpable and you'd have had to have been a marble statue not to be moved by this movie.
