Matthew Bannon, a poor art student living in New York City, finds a duffel bag filled with diamonds during a chaotic attack at Grand Central Station. Plans for a worry-free life with his stunning girlfriend Katherine fill his thoughts--until he realizes that he is being hunted, and that whoever is after him won't stop until they have reclaimed the diamonds and exacted their revenge. Trailing him is the Ghost, the world's greatest assassin, who has just pulled off his most high-profile hit: killing Walter Zelvas, a top member of the international Diamond Syndicate. There's only one small problem: the diamonds he was supposed to retrieve from Zelvas are missing. Now, the Ghost is on Bannon's trail--but so is a rival assassin who would like nothing more than to make the Ghost disappear forever. From "America's #1 storyteller" (Forbes) comes a high-speed, high-stakes, winner-take-all thrill ride of adrenaline-fueled suspense.

0 0I felt like this was more of 2.5 star book than a 3 star book. I'm not a fan of stories that switch point of views. If you're going to write in first person, write in first person. If you're going to write in third person, write in third person. Using both in the same story, and having switched from third person to first person in the same chapter, is overkill. It makes the writing seem juvenile. My main issue with this book is the way it was written. The story was great. I did find it hard to believe that every single person this guy worked with had been a friend of his from the military, but I'm trying not to be too nit-picky when it comes to things like that, which is why I'm not going to bring up the fact that an ex-marine was still able to get his hands on all the weapons and equipment he had a hold of. This was my first ever James Patterson novel, and I'm willing to give others a chance, despite how juvenile this one seemed.
