James Patterson is one of the best-known and biggest-selling writers of all time. He is the author of some of the most popular series of the past decade: the Women's Murder Club, the Alex Cross novels and Maximum Ride, and he has written many other number one bestsellers including romance novels and stand-alone thrillers. He has won an Edgar Award, the mystery world's highest honour. He lives in Florida with his wife and son.
'Patterson has pulled off a book that's awash with street cred, yoof slang and honest, yearning emotion. His biggest success is in grounding his high-flying youngsters in today's world, making them all the more believable.' -- SFX 20060501
