Description
When Jack Morgan opens a branch of Private in Mumbai, a mysterious killer threatens to destroy the agency-and the city-from the inside out.
When Jack Morgan opens the Mumbai branch of Private, the world's most elite detective agency, he hands the reins to top agent Santosh Wagh. Now, in this teeming metropolis of over thirteen million people where the guilty have everywhere to hide, Santosh goes on the hunt for one elusive killer: a killer who is targeting seemingly unconnected women and placing strange objects at their death scenes in a series of chilling rituals.
As the Private team races to find a link that will lead them to the next victim, an unseen menace threatens to destroy the agency from within-and plunge the city into chaos. With countless lives hanging in the balance, Santosh must confront the demons of his past . . . before Private India meets an explosive end.
Reviews
Private India: City on fire
5By JazzncatI have read many reviews on this book. Some complaining about too many characters, poor plot and poor proofreading. Well I thoroughly enjoyed the journey to another county, with its customs and idiosyncrasies. I applaud James Patterson for putting his name to another authors journey. This Private adventure only contains one investigation with its turns and twists. Many other Private books have multiple cases within one book. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Judge for yourself!Poorly written
1By SkyysteveThis is the worst book of the series I have read. There are many chapters that go nowhere. The story goes all over the place. Too many names and places to remember. A complete waste of time.Great book
5By caroline blondieI really don’t get the bad reviews. My first James Patterson book, and I loved it. It is an amazing crime novel and the plot may be confusing, but that makes it worth reading many times. It is the first James Patterson book I’ve read, so it could be that the others are better, but that doesn’t make this one any worse. I definitely recommend it.Intriguing Read
5By Gram BABExcellent read. At times feltI was in the scene unfolding. Very descriptiveDifficult Read
3By Banana1966Although I usually enjoy Mr. Petersons writing, this book was a difficult read. Although I understand it was written as though the characters were speaking, it felt contrived, and seemed to me a poor representation of how the people of India would really speak.Private India
5By Holly SparkleI respectfully disagree with those who have disliked this book. I found it every bit as interesting as the others in this series. Great reading!Disappointment
1By Scott701I've read the prior 5 Private books before this one, which I loved. I don't even like this book. It not even in the same league. I wonder if James Patterson even proof read it before attaching his name.Awful
1By DavidH!Could barely read the entire thing. So not like the normal James Patterson books.Private India City on Fire
1By CAmcrapI am having the hardest time "getting into" this book. I have started it three times - I keep putting it down. I guess I just don't like it! Sorry James Patterson, or whoever wrote it. Carolyn Mooney Finally, and it's been almost one week, I am on page 380- I am literally skimming through pages just to finish this book. I have been such a Patterson fan - this book just might change things. What a drag.Too many characters, too many subplots, too little satisfaction
1By agentsparkyA weak entry in the Private series. Not nearly up to the standard set by other offerings. Fine, you learn some factoids about Indian culture and religion, a short tour of the sites, neighborhoods and roadways of Mumbai but in this novel that local presence is forced on a wandering, complex plot that mercifully brings together many threads in a thumping and meaningless finale.
