Private Games

Book excerpt: As Private works with the 2012 Olympic Games organizing committee in London, Sir Denton Marshall--a key member of the committee--is found decapitated in his garden. Head of Private London Peter Knight, who has both a professional and personal relationship with Marshall, is called to the scene. Coming so soon after loss of friends and colleagues in a fatal plane crash, Marshall's murder is an almost intolerable blow to Knight, and it soon becomes clear that not Marshall--but the Games themselves-- are the killer's number one target.
