Read in less than 4 hours

Summer book #14: Lifeguard by James Patterson.

Remember the other day when I said there were two James Patterson books I was missing? This is the second one.  As it turns out, I never read this one when it came out in 2005, which is weird since I read Patterson's books almost as soon as they come out.

This, like most Patterson books, was a fast read. I started at a little after 11 pm, and finished at roughly 2:45 am. 

Our main character is a guy named Ned Kelly, just like the outlaw.  He is from Brockton, MA, but is living in Palm Beach, FL.  At the beginning, we find  Ned in a swanky hotel room with a woman he met just two days before.  He goes to meet his friends, who need his help with an art heist.  The girl in the hotel is killed, the art heist goes bad, and Ned's lifelong friends are killed.  Ned, is implicated in it all. While trying to clear his name, Ned meets an FBI agent names Ellie.  She helps him clear his name, and they fall in love.

Read the book.  James Patterson tells the story much better than I do.
