James Patterson and Peter de Jonge have written a searing summer
thriller-an unstoppable tale of love and vengeance among the
superrich and superruthless.
Jack Mullen is in law school in New York City when the news
comes that his brother, Peter, has drowned in the ocean off
East Hampton. Jack knows his brother practically grew up in
the water, and that this couldn't be an accident. Someone
must have wanted his brother dead.
But the police say otherwise. As Jack tries to uncover details
of his brother's last night, he confronts a maddening barricade
of lawyers, police, and paid protectors who separate the wealthy
summer residents from local workers like Peter. Motivated
by a hundred forms of grief, Jack rallies his hometown friends
to help him find the truth of Peter's death-no matter how
rich or corrupt the people who stand in their way.
Jack's relentless crusade puts him into a head-on collision
with one of the most powerful and ruthless men in New York,
a man who wipes out resistance with a snap of his fingers.
As it unfolds that his brother was involved with some of the
richest women and men in America-in ways Jack never imagined-his
dream of justice fades. Only if he can somehow beat the rich
at their own game will he be able to avenge his brother.
THE BEACH HOUSE is a breathtaking legal thriller of deceit
and revenge-with a finale so shocking, it could only have
come from the mind of James Patterson.
