Tom Dunleavy has a one-man law firm in America`s wealthiest resort town: legendary East Hampton. But his job barely keeps him in paper clips. His clients make a living serving the rich. The billionaires and celebrities swarming the beaches already have lawyers on their payroll.

Very Expensive

Then a friend of Tom`s is arrested for a triple murder near a movie star`s mansion. Tom knows in his gut that Dante Halleyville is innocent. Dante asks him to represent him in what could be the Trial of the Century.

Very Exclusive

Tom recruits Manhattan superlawyer Kate Costello to help. She`s a tough hire, because Kate is his ex-girlfriend, but she agrees. In their search to find who really executed three locals, Tom orchestrates a series of revelations to expose the killer, and what emerges is staggering.

Very Explosive

The final scenes of this audiobook unveil a truth that will leave readers gasping in shock. Written with the precision that has made James Patterson `a master of his genre` (USA Today), Beach Road is his wildest, most thrilling novel ever.
-----------
Dark mysteries come to East Hampton while a struggling lawyer fights to save his friend from being framed for a triple murder.
Montauk lawyer Tom Dunleavy`s client list is woefully small-occasional real estate closings barely keep him in paper clips. So when he is hired to defend a local man accused in a triple murder in East Hampton, he knows that he has found the case of his lifetime.
The crime turns the glittering playground for the super-rich into a blazing inferno. Dunleavy`s client is a local hero, but he knows the case rests on money, deception, and forbidden desires. His client will be framed-unless he can find the key to the case.
When Dunleavy is joined by his former flame, the savvy and well-connected attorney, Kate Costello, he believes he has a chance. But payback is a bitch, especially from the rich. The violent retaliations of billionaires threatened by his investigation exceed anything Dunleavy has ever seen. With the entire nation`s eyes on him in a new Trial of the Century, Dunleavy orchestrates a series of revelations that lead to a stunning outcome-and the truth is wilder than anything he ever imagined.
-----------
It starts with the rape of a young black girl: Nikki Robinson is cleaning the mansion on Beach Road owned by the Merrick family, when the owner`s son assaults her. Then three teenage boys are shot dead on the beach - one is Michael Merrick, and one of the black kids accused of the murders is Nikki`s half-brother, Eli. Defending them isn`t going to be easy. No witness to the murders can be found. The rich local community don`t want any murky secrets revealed about life in the Hamptons. And Tom and Kate, the two lawyers working on the case, haven`t exactly been on good terms since their affair broke up.
