Private Games

(Private 3)

Summary

It’s a brutal race to the finish line . . .


July 2012: The Games have arrived in London and the stage is set for one of the greatest ever showcases of sporting excellence.


When Sir Denton Marshall, a key member of the London Olympic organising committee, is found brutally murdered, Peter Knight, head of Private London, is called to investigate. Not only was Denton Marshall a valuable client to Private, but he was the fiancé of Knight's mother.


Knight is devastated by Denton's murder, but it soon becomes clear that this is no isolated incident. The killer is targeting the Games itself, and the lives of everyone involved are under threat.
