On his own or with a co-writer, James Patterson pens more crime thrillers than any two or three other authors combined. Nary has a year passed in which a couple or three of his latest books doesn't cross my desk. A number of homicide detectives and private eyes are his literary creations. The most popular is Alex Cross of the Metro Police Department (Washington, DC).
KILL ALEX CROSS by James Patterson 375pp, 2011 Century paperback. Available at Asia Books and leading bookshops, 595 baht
One might think that anyone so prolific would run out of steam, yet to Patterson's credit there's no sign of it. While not all his plots are original, those that aren't have unexpected twists. Happily he doesn't overwrite or pad, keeping his stories to under 400 pages. Kill Alex Cross is by himself alone.
