Private Jack Morgan investigates the disappearance of the biggest superstar couple in Hollywood.Thom and Jennifer Harlow are the perfect couple, with three perfect children. They maybe two of the biggest mega movie stars in the world, but they're also great parents, philanthropists and just all-around good people.When they disappear without a word from their ranch, facts are hard to find. They live behind such a high wall of security and image control that even world-renowned Private Investigator Jack Morgan can't get to the truth. But as Jack keeps probing, secrets sprout thick and fast--and the world's golden couple may emerge as hiding behind a world of desperation and deception that the wildest reality show couldn't begin to unveil. Murder is only the opening scene.

Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson both write gripping suspense novels characterized by clever plot twists, memorable characters, menacing atmospheres, psychological overtones, and often nightmarish qualities. -- Kim Burton
Jonathan Kellerman and James Patterson write gritty, suspenseful series that combine psychological insights into crime and criminals with police procedures. For both, vividly drawn characters, page-turning pacing, and cinematic story lines create compelling and twisted crime stories filled with violence and grisly details. -- Joyce Saricks
Though there's no doubt that James Patterson is the better-known author, both he and James Siegel use similar writing styles--short chapters and paragraphs--to keep the tension high. Both authors also feature twists and turns, which fuel fast-paced plots. -- Shauna Griffin
Both authors' books are practically guaranteed to hit the bestseller lists, whether they are written for adult or youth audiences. James Patterson partners with many co-writers for his youth fiction; Bill O'Reilly generally sticks to nonfiction adaptations of his adult books. The two partnered on a bestselling picture book. -- Autumn Winters
Both authors write intense, fast-paced thrillers starring courageous detectives who take on investigations that could make them the killer's next target. James Patterson writes for adults, teens, and children; Robyn Gigl writes primarily for adults. -- CJ Connor
Though James Patterson also writes in a plethora of other genres, both his and Anne Holt's catalogs are filled with exciting titles for readers looking for fast-paced and suspenseful mystery thrillers. -- Stephen Ashley
James Patterson and Ridley Pearson both feature serial murders, series detective protagonists, bleak outlooks, graphic violence, and psychological implications, though Pearson's novels are more densely written and reflective in tone than those of Patterson. -- Kim Burton
Though James Patterson's thrillers are generally faster paced than Rachel Howzell Hall's, both write compelling and suspenseful mystery thrillers sure to excite fans of the genre. -- Stephen Ashley
Like James Patterson, John Sandford writes hard-edged, suspenseful novels of detection. Sandford offers similarly fast-paced, bleak stories, pervaded by a menacing atmosphere. Psychological details are often the key to the case, and the story unfolds with strong language and graphically portrayed violence. -- Kim Burton
While Attica Locke's writing focuses on atmosphere and James Patterson's is more plot-driven, both create a variety of twisty and surprising cases in their compelling mystery thrillers. -- Stephen Ashley
Greg Iles writes more elegantly than James Patterson, but tells equally complex stories of gritty suspense. Plot twists, contemporary settings (although he has also written suspenseful thrillers set in World War II), alternating points of view, and graphic violence feature prominently. -- Kim Burton
These authors' works have the appeal factors action-packed, and they have the genres "fantasy fiction" and "science fiction"; and the subjects "teenagers," "boys," and "twin brothers."
