DESCRIPTION:
Campbell does a fine job, handling himself with serious aplomb. He shifts easily from third-person narrative to Ned's reflective first-person perspective, and gives each of the supporting characters their own, distinctive voice. From Publishers Weekly Campbell brings a strong presence as narrator to this latest thriller from collaborators Patterson and Gross. All rights reserved. His performance rises above the overly melodramatic material. Part-time lifeguard/beach bum Ned Kelly meets the woman of his dream—rich and sexy Tess McAuliffe—and thanks to some old childhood friends, he has an opportunity to earn an easy, albeit illegal, $5 million by creating several diversions around town while his friends steal a fortune in art work. The authors keep the story moving quickly, providing plenty of twists, turns and close escapes, but little logic or believability. Copyright © Reed Business Information
James Patterson is the author of numerous international number one bestsellers, including THE BIG BAD WOLF, 3RD DEGREE and his most recent, LONDON BRIDGES. Andrew Gross is a writer who lives in New York.

She is a guest at the luxurious hotel - he lives above a garage.So when Ned's cousin offers to cut him in on a rich deal he's been commissioned to execute, Ned can't turn him down. It feels perfect in every way - except that she is used to caviar and Manolo Blahniks, and he is used to burgers and flip-flops. Runs away, actually, knowing that only velocity and secrecy can save his life. The danger isn't in the water.Working as a lifeguard at a Florida resort, Ned Kelly meets a woman he is wild about, the woman of his dreams. But on the night of the heist, something goes devastatingly wrong. But who is pursuing him? The FBI? Whoever sabotaged the heist? Or is it all somehow tied into his new love - and his oldest enemies?. The risk is high, and the reward is even greater--$5 million. The plan is simple, just a fast break-and-enter
