Product Description

Up for sale is an authentic first edition hardcover copy of the heart-pounding crime thriller "Lifeguard," co-authored by #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson and Andrew Gross. Published by Little, Brown and Company in July 2005, this standalone suspense novel brings Patterson's signature fast-paced chapters to the luxurious, high-stakes beaches of Florida.

The plot kicks off when Ned Kelly, a working-class lifeguard in elite Palm Beach, decides to risk everything for a shot at giving his girlfriend the life she deserves. He agrees to act as a lookout for what is supposed to be a clean, victimless, multi-million-dollar art heist. The robbery goes perfectly, but within twenty-four hours, all of Ned's co-conspirators are found brutally executed. Suddenly on the run, Ned becomes the prime target for both a relentless FBI agent and a shadowy assassin group. A perfect choice for James Patterson completions, summer beach reading, or suspense fiction collections.
