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.

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. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. -- MICHAEL CONNELLY Alex Cross is one of the best-written heroes in American fiction. -- LISA SCOTTOLINE Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. -- NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
