About this ebook
A classic summer thriller from the most popular storyteller of our time.
When New York law student Jack Mullen learns that his brother has drowned, he knows it can't be an accident . . .
Jack Mullen is in New York City when the shocking news comes that his brother Peter has drowned in the ocean off East Hampton. Jack knows his brother and knows this couldn't be an accident — someone must have wanted his brother dead. But the powers that be say otherwise.
As Jack tries to uncover the details of his brother’s final night, he confronts a barricade of lawyers, police, and paid protectors who separate the multibillionaire summer residents from local workers like Peter.
Soon, he discovers that Peter wasn't just parking cars at the summer parties of the rich. He was making serious money satisfying the sexual needs of the richest women and men in town.
The Beach House reveals the secret lives of celebrities in a breathtaking drama of revenge with a finale so shocking that only James Patterson could have written it.

This is just about my favorite book. I have read it several times, and I never get bored. It starts right up and doesn't stop. The second book was good as well, but this one will entertain you from start to finish.
