"Sensationally plotted, it leaps off the page and grabs you by the throat I love the crime thriller author James Patterson’s Alex Cross series. It’s quite different from the day job and gives me a chance to escape * Belfast Telegraph * It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... 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. 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. -- 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. 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. Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. Patterson is in a class by himself."
