Brilliantly terrifying! So exciting that I had to stay up all night
to finish it! Packed with white-knuckle twists. * DAILY MAIL *
An incredibly suspenseful read with a one-of-a-kind villain who is
as terrifying as he is intriguing. One of the best thrillers of the
year.
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.
Terror and suspense that grab the reader and won't let go. Just try
running away from this one.
[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of
all time, a character for the ages. -- DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN

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, international bestselling author of the
Jack Reacher series
Alex Cross is a legend. -- HARLAN COBEN
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. --

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. -- STEVE BERRY,
bestselling author of the Colton Malone series
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
James Patterson is The Boss. End of. -- IAN RANKIN, bestselling
author of the Inspector Rebus series
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no
stopping his imagination.
Patterson is in a class by himself.
