Summary

Summary

A #1 New York Times bestseller

A USA Today bestseller

A classic summer heist thriller from the most popular storyteller of our time. 

High risk, high reward — a $5 million heist is the perfect job for lifeguard Ned Kelly. But when it all goes horribly wrong, he discovers a world of secrets and sabotage. 

Working at a luxurious Florida resort, Ned Kelly meets the woman of his dreams. It feels perfect in every way, except that she's used to caviar and Manolo Blahniks, and he's used to burgers and flip-flops. So, when Ned's cousin offers to cut him in on a fast break-and-enter job, he can't turn it down. The risk is high, and the reward is even greater — $5 million. 
 
But the robbery goes devastatingly wrong. Forced to run away from his town and the woman he's fallen in love with, Ned knows that only distance and secrecy can save his life. But who is pursuing him? The FBI? Whoever sabotaged the heist? Or is it all somehow tied to his new love . . . and his oldest enemies? 

Discover a vivid, nail-biting crime thriller from "one of America's most influential authors" (New York Times). You won't be able to put it down. 

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A twisty story that will engage the interest of beach-goers everywhere.” —Publishers Weekly
“Once again, the indefatigable James Patterson delivers.” —Barnes & Noble, editorial review
“Don’t be fooled by the title of Patterson’s latest thrilling yarn—the action goes far beyond the beach…Packing all the punches readers have come to expect from Patterson’s books, this one delivers at every turn.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Lifeguard is a fast-paced page-turner…If this is representative of his usual work, then he has just won himself a new fan.” —BookReporter.com
“Sexy, action-packed, with danger around every corner, this book engages listeners from the first moment. Billy Campbell heightens the tension with his pacing as he easily takes on the persona of Ned Kelly, lifeguard, thief, and, ultimately, avenger. Told from the Ned’s point of view, this story has it all: murder, mystery, art theft, romance, police chases, FBI agents, all among the wealthy community of Palm Beach. Campbell makes the listener feel Ned’s emotions as the thief becomes a hero and then tries to impress the girl. Music, along with the occasional sound effects, such as gunshots and motorcycle chases, add to the fun and intrigue.” —AudioFile
“Patterson and Gross have come up with an enjoyable thriller, and Billy Campbell is skilled in his presentation of the unique plotting, well-developed characters, and fast-paced action. This will definitely be a hot item in all audio collections.” —Library Journal (audio review)
