Private L.A.

Private L.A.

(Private 7)

Summary

Private is the world’s largest detective agency. And Jack Morgan, its owner, is having a criminally bad week.


His twin brother is up on a murder charge and determined to frame Jack for the crime, and one of Jack's clients has just called to report the burnt bodies of four surfers on his beach.


Then, what seems like a random mugging gone wrong is discovered to be something far worse - a killer calling themselves No Prisoners who is holding the city to ransom. And there's more bad news: Hollywood's golden couple, Thom and Jennifer Harlow, have been kidnapped, along with their adopted children.


It looks like the whole world is about to discover whether Private are really as good as they say they are . . .
