"IT WAS 3: 00 A.M. on the button when the unmarked white box truck turned onto the steep slope of Sweetwater Mesa Road and began to climb up into the exclusive Serra Retreat neighborhood of Malibu, California."Majestic mountain peaks rising to the left, thought Vida Gomez as she looked out from the truck's passenger seat. Nothing but moonlit ocean to the right. No wonder so many movie stars lived here."As if the sights matter, Vida thought, tearing her eyes off the million-dollar view and putting them back on the screen of the iPhone in her lap. What was up with her? She never got distracted on a job. She took a calming breath . She seriously needed to buckle down. Taking her eye off the ball here would not be prudent. Not tonight."The opening paragraphs kept my interest so I thumbed to the next page on Kindle. I've read better opening paragraphs but it's Patterson so I'll wait for the story to accelerate.
