“Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves the plot along. It’s what fires off the movie projector in the reader’s mind.”
— Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author, praise for the author
“Patterson never, and I mean never, disappoints.”
— USA Today, praise for the author“Patterson’s novels are sleek entertainment machines, the Porsches of commercial fiction, expertly engineered and lightning fast.”
— Publishers Weekly, praise for the author“America’s #1 storyteller.”
— Forbes, praise for the author" I did enjoy the first Ali Cross book, but this one.....sadly leaves me at a HARD READ, almost turned it off a dozen times. With all the crap that goes on in the world today with ****Lives Matter crap... this was a reminder of how bad some think they have it. If life is that horrible here in the USA, LEAVE. I don't think I will be buying any more of the Ali Cross series. Plenteous teen with a dad cop... gets attitude, lies to police... sorry.. No dice anymore. "
