Mistress by James Patterson and David Ellis

This is a thrilling tale about Ben, a man smitten with obsession as he plunges into a lone wolf hunt for the object of his obsession, a beautiful woman named Diana Hotchkiss, after she is found dead outside her apartment.

In his most heart-pumping thriller since The Quickie, this tale plunges into the depths of a mind tortured by paranoia and obsession, on an action-packed chase through a world of danger and deceit.

Though slow, it turns out good with an aura that is more of David Ellis than James Patterson.
