Sinossi
Dopo un grave infortunio, Tom Dunleavy ha deciso di buttarsi alle spalle una carriera nel basket e di aprire uno studio legale in una delle zone più esclusive degli Stati Uniti, gli Hamptons. Il lavoro però non sembra decollare: pochi clienti e tanta diffidenza nei suoi confronti. Ma proprio quando le speranze sembrano svanire, arriva per Tom l’occasione di dare una svolta alla sua carriera. Dante Halleyville, un promettente giocatore di basket nonché suo carissimo amico, viene arrestato con l’accusa di aver ucciso tre ragazzi nel parco della villa di Smitty Wilson, una famosa star del cinema. Tom sa che Dante è innocente e accetta di difenderlo in quello che potrebbe rivelarsi il processo del secolo. Ma l’impresa è ardua: gli abitanti della zona non collaborano e in ballo ci sono droga, denaro sporco e tanta corruzione. Per questo Tom decide di farsi aiutare da Kate Costello, una collega di Manhattan. Kate non è soltanto un avvocato di talento, ma è stata in passato la sua fidanzata e di lei si fida ciecamente. Insieme vinceranno la scommessa di abbattere il muro di omertà che li circonda e trovare il vero responsabile del triplice omicidio? Sembrano avere tutte le carte in regola per farcela ma, a mano a mano che le indagini procedono, emergono dettagli inquietanti che portano a una sconvolgente e inattesa verità…

Spoiler alert, the main character is the killer. Shocking. Do yourself a favor and throw this book out the window and hope it hits one of the authors.
Beach Road by James Patterson and Peter De Jonge is one of many books that I read by Patterson. It takes place in the resort town of East Hampton Tom Dunleavy is a lawyer barely making ends meet when a friend, Dante Halleyville, is arrested for murder. Dante asks Tom to represent him. Additionally,
Easily one of my favorite Patterson books. The characters seemed more compelling. The story moves very quickly, without feeling rushed. The mystery and the twist(s) were beyond intriguing. To me, it is as if other Patterson books are beautiful in black-and-white, Beach Road is spectacular in vivid c Leggi tutto
The bizarre ending twist fails utterly! Tom Dunleavy is a very good athlete who never quite made it to the top. After a very few minutes of near fame as a white NBA basketball player, Dunleavy bottomed out with a career ending injury and retired to a quiet life managing a very mediocre one-man law fi Leggi tutto
I had shelved so many James Patterson books when I worked at the library, but had only read one, the similarly titled Beach House. I enjoyed the setting of Beach Road as well as the characters, suspense and courtroom drama, until chapter 107. I just didn't believe the turn Patterson took with his pr Leggi tutto
i would never read the best seller trash on my own but someone had it and I had nothing else to read. Unbelievably bad. might be the worst book I've ever read. who decidedes that this is what people should buy? complete absense of writing style, real characters, or plot. the whole book hinges on a t Leggi tutto
I was really not impressed with this one. Most of the book dragged on, in my opinion, leading to the “big” reveal at the end. The remainder of the story after the reveal seems rushed and does not really provide a lot of detail to support why these crimes were committed. I love James Patterson’s Alex Leggi tutto
I gave the novel three stars, largely because I prefer a much more challenging plot and story. While the authors managed to hold my interest (admittedly, not an easy task), the work lacked stimulating intricacies. Although many readers may feel they've been duped, the ending was possibly the book's
