This was my second Patterson book but it was the first one I read that was part of a series. I LOVED IT!!! I wasn't halfway through before I was looking for other books in the Private series.
This book has short and fast paced chapters that made it a real page turner. It felt like reading a movie based in England.

In chapter 87 the Tower of London is mentioned. It talks about how the name is misleading in current times since modern buildings tower over the Tower of London. But the Tower of London surpasses all the surrounding buildings in history.
Share a fact you know about the Tower of London.
What is the most interesting thing you know about the Tower of London?
While Knight looks through pictures of Flex throughout his life, Knight asks himself many questions. One of those questions is the following:
"What effect had their father's [Flex] choice of career [military/security] had on their lives?"
In general, how do you think these types of careers effect the children of those families?
Throughout the novel, Morgan and Flex point blame at each other.
Is that because they truly believe the other is to blame or are they just trying to justify their own actions?
Was Morgan responsible for Flex's death?
Do you think Morgan could have actually saved Flex?
