Mistress

James Patterson's scariest, sexiest stand-alone thriller since The Quickie.

Ben isn't like most people. Unable to control his racing thoughts, he's a man consumed by his obsessions: movies, motorcycles, presidential trivia-and Diana Hotchkiss, a beautiful woman Ben knows he can never have.

When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben's infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life. Ben soon discovers that the woman he pined for was hiding a shocking double life. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana's illicit affairs.

In his most heart-pumping thriller yet, James Patterson plunges us into the depths of a mind tortured by paranoia and obsession, on an action-packed chase through a world of danger and deceit.

Staff Review:
How well can you ever really know someone? When Ben witnesses his best friend plummets from her sixth-floor apartment balcony, his obsession to unravel the truth behind her tragic death drives him to a chaotic mess. Skip past all the movie and presidential trivia and you'll miss the plot. I couldn't put it down. Truly, a page turner.
