Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried… there’s no stopping his imagination. — NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent – which is what Jim has, in spades. — LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series

Patterson boils a scene down to a 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
