The Alex Cross series proves it.' LEE CHILD 'Alex Cross is a legend' HARLAN COBEN '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.' NELSON DEMILLE 'Brilliantly terrifying!
