James Patterson built the modern page-turner. His chapters are short, his hooks are sharp, and his books are engineered to be impossible to put down, a formula that has made him one of the best-selling novelists alive.
From the Alex Cross investigations to the Women's Murder Club, his crime fiction trades on momentum: a killer always a step ahead, a detective with something to lose, and a clock that never stops. Pick one up at night and plan to be awake a while.
