Reports confirm that the story is not told backwards, or even in random order...
...Bestselling author James Patterson, with co-writer Peter de Jonge, turns out yet another hefty novel, "The Beach House" (Little, Brown; June 10).

Its hero is a Columbia University law student, Jack Mullen, who's out to avenge the death of his younger brother, Peter, found dead on the Amagansett, L.I., property of the immensely wealthy Neubauer family, a few miles from Jack and Peter's Montauk home. The cops say Peter drowned; a glance at the corpse tells Jack that his brother was beaten...
