JAMES Patterson’s penchant for producing murder mystery is unrivalled in the literary world.

The author who has brought us the likes of Alex Cross and Detective Michael Bennett offers up his latest collaboration, this time with Howard Roughan, an author in his own right as well as having previously worked with Patterson.

In Second Honeymoon they have brought to life two clever murderers, each with their own reason for delivering death to those unlucky enough to cross their path.

For one group of victims, it appears to be for no other reason than their name. For the other, it appears to be because they are newlyweds. And caught in the middle is the FBI agent John O’Hara who needs all of his skills to get out of is one alive.

The first is killing honeymooners, the second is killing men named John O’Hara.

To complicate matters even more, John O’Hara is also the name of the brother-in-law of the President of the United States of America.

It doesn’t take long for agent O’Hara to work out he is the final victim on the kill list, and also why someone else so badly wants him dead.

As the action zigzags across America, O’Hara jets from coast to coast and the killers leave trails of death in their wakes.
