The Games
Author: James Patterson
Format: Paperback
(Private 12)
The greatest show on Earth - and the greatest opportunity for danger...
Two years ago, Jack Morgan was in Rio consulting for the World Cup. The tournament went without a hitch. Until a man died in one of the executive suites during the final, and the autopsy showed the cause to be a rare and deadly virus.
The story was kept from the media to avoid panic, but Jack feared that this was no freak accident.
Now the eyes of the world are once again turned towards Rio for the Olympic Games, and Jack is back in Brazil's beautiful capital. It's not long before he uncovers terrifying evidence that someone has set in motion a catastrophic plan.
The death at the World Cup was just a warning. The Olympic Games could be the setting for the worst atrocity the world has ever seen.
