Detective Alex Cross is ripped away from his family on Christmas Eve - and that's nothing compared to what awaits him on Christmas Day
JAMES PATTERSON is one of the best-known and biggest-selling
writers of all time. His books have sold in excess of 400 million
copies worldwide. He is the author of some of the most popular
series of the past two decades - the Alex Cross, Women's Murder
Club, Detective Michael Bennett and Private novels - and he has
written many other number one bestsellers including stand-alone
thrillers and non-fiction.
James is passionate about encouraging children to read. Inspired by
his own son who was a reluctant reader, he also writes a range of
books for young readers including the Middle School, Dog Diaries,
Treasure Hunters and Max Einstein series. James has donated
millions in grants to independent bookshops and has been the most
borrowed author in UK libraries for the past thirteen years in a
row. He lives in Florida with his family.
Fast-paced and tightly plotted, this is a dramatic thriller that
shows why the books in this series sell by the truckload.
It'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.
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.
Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally
changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative,
so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the
measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer -
James Patterson - began to do just that ... 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.
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no
stopping his imagination.
