AS NEW In Mistress by James Patterson, newspaper editor Benjamin Casper gets caught up in the danger of political blackmail. He tries to prove that his friend, Diana Hotchkiss, did not kill herself. As Ben delves deeper into her death, he learns Diana is not dead at all. Instead, she is part of a scheme to rebuild the old Soviet Union. Along with his friend's true identity, Ben also learns the truth about the death of his mother, the role his father played in this murder, and why his father set him up as the killer. As the story begins, Benjamin has just left Diana s apartment when he sees her fall from her balcony. Ben does not believe that his friend killed herself and decides to find out the truth. He attends Diana s visitation in her hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. On his way home, his plane crashes, an act that he believes was meant to look like an accident but was instead an attempt to kill him. He tries to hide out at his cabin on Lake Anna only to have armed men try to kill him there as well. His friend, Ellis Burk, shows Ben crime scene photos of Diana s murder, which help Ben know that it was not Diana who was killed. Ellis tries to help Ben in his investigation but is shot and killed.

Ben isn't like most people. Unable to control his racing thoughts, he's a man consumed by his obsessions: movies, motorcycles, presidential trivia-and Diana Hotchkiss, a beautiful woman Ben knows he can never have.

When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben's infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life. He soon discovers that the woman he pined for was hiding a shocking secret. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana's illicit affairs.

In his most heart-pumping thriller yet, James Patterson plunges us into the depths of a mind tortured by paranoia and obsession, on an action-packed chase through a world of danger and deceit.
