I enjoyed this book immensely. There is a ton of stuff going on and lots of characters. Let's see, Jack Morgan stars as the owner of Private, a private investigations firm for the stars. First of all, Jack suffers from PTSD due to a stint in Afghanistan where terrible things happened. Him and his very elite crew have the following cases going on simultaneously: a professional football gambling scheme, Jacks' best friend's wife has been murdered, a serial killer killing school girls and in Jack's personal life: he's receiving daily death threats, he can't commit to his girlfriend and his twin has a gambling problem. And if all of this isn't enough, the head of the mob wants Jack to find his missing girlfriend.

I think the best line in the book was between Jack and his girlfriend Colleen. After a bout of quickie sex, she says, "I'm sorry I made you late" and he replies, "as long as I didn't make you late." Gotta love it.
