It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... Simply put: Nobody does it better.

James Patterson is The Boss. End of. 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. James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. [Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. Alex Cross is a legend. Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind
