Synopsis

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, tropical paradise becomes a dark inferno of kidnapping, temptation, and ruthless killing when a beautiful supermodel goes missing in Hawaii.
Syd, a breathtakingly beautiful supermodel on a photo shoot in Hawaii, disappears. Fearing the worst, her parents travel to Hawaii to investigate for themselves, never expecting the horror that awaits them.
LA Times reporter Ben Hawkins is conducting his own research into the case, hoping to help the victim and get an idea for his next bestseller. With no leads and no closer to uncovering the kidnapper's identity than when he stepped off the plane, Ben gets a shocking visit that pushes him into an impossible-to-resist deal with the devil.
A heart-pounding story of fear and desire, Swimsuit transports readers to a chilling new territory where the collision of beauty and murder transforms paradise into a hell of unspeakable horrors.

From AudioFile:

Someone is killing beautiful women. Cop-turned-reporter-turned-investigator Ben Hawkins gets involved in a cat-and-mouse game with the killer. This new novel, co-written by the prolific James Patterson and Maxine Paetro, is a powerful portrayal of the mind of a murderer and the man obsessed with stopping him. Narrator Christian Rummel depicts Hawkins's drive to reclaim his own soul and reputation after the scandal that cost him his badge. The high-adrenaline excitement pours out the speakers as Rummel takes the listener through an emotional wringer of egotism, fear, and ultimately triumph . . . of a sort. The novel is a powerhouse, and Rummel brings it to life. M.S. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
