ReviewsIt's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page ... Simply put: Nobody does it better. -- JEFFERY DEAVER Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it. -- LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series James Patterson is The Boss. End of. -- IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed. -- NELSON DEMILLE James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. -- STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series [Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. -- DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD Alex Cross is a legend. -- HARLAN COBEN Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along.
