About the book
In the #1 bestselling series, Jack Morgan from Private must track down a murderer before the Olympic games kick off in Rio.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is known for its vibrant celebrations. That's why it's no surprise that it's chosen to host the most prestigious sports events: the World Cup and the Olympics. To ensure smooth proceedings, the organizers enlist Jack Morgan, the leader of the top international security and consulting company. However, with events of this magnitude, there's always a chance that someone will be left out.
Two years after a crisis that almost spilled over from the soccer field to the crowds, Jack returns to Rio for the Olympics. Yet, as his high-profile clients start vanishing and bodies start appearing on the streets, Jack finds himself delving into a dangerous underworld filled with disillusioned locals intent on disrupting the world's grandest event.
As the entire world looks on in shock, Jack races against time to neutralize a threat that could devastate Rio and transform the games into a deadly show... all before the Olympic flame is lit.
