Private Berlin
“when I turn the Mercedes into a parking structure on the northwest corner of the grounds of the IAA Motor Show, the largest car exhibition in the world. Gleaming exotic rides litter the parking lot, and I’m instantly a happy man. I love cars. They’re one of the best disguises there is.
In the right car, my friends, you can be anyone, don’t you think?
I park and study a photo of Artur Jaeger downloaded from the Internet, thinking about the helpful secretary who told me where I might find the engineer.
I look in the mirror, checking the makeup job that makes me appear bald and much older. I zip up a blue windbreaker, and then put on a red one with an Aston Martin logo over it.
I tug on a matching ball cap.
I pause, forcing myself to breathe deep and slow.
I know what a terrible risk I’m taking.
It’s unlike me. I prefer to have the odds in my favor.

JAMES PATTERSON NEVER LEAVES ME UNSET THAT I WASTED TIME READING HIS BOOKS. IT IS THE BEST TIME I HAVE EVER SPENT. THE BOOKS ARE SO HARD TO PUT DOWN AND THIS ONE WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT I COULD NOT PUT DOWN
