Blurb (from book jacket): "A breathtakingly beautiful supermodel disappears from a swimsuit photo shoot at the most glamorous hotel in Hawaii. Only hours after Kim McDaniels goes missing, her parents receive a terrifying phone call. Fearing the worst, they board the first flight to Maui and begin the hunt for their daughter.
"Ex-cop Ben Hawkins, now a reporter for the L.A. Times gets the McDaniels assignment. The ineptitude of the local police force defies belief-Ben has to start his own investigation for Kim McDaniels to have a prayer. And for Ben to have the story of a lifetime.
"All the while, a killer sets the stage for his next production. His audience expect the best-and they won't be disappointed. Swimsuit is a heart-pounding story of fear and desire, transporting you to a place where beauty and murder collide and horrors are hidden within paradise."
Opinion: I'm really wishing that James Patterson would take some time between books to really concentrate on his writing. It seems that every book that comes out now is rushed. This is still an enjoyable, fast-paced read.
