James Patterson has captured the imagination and challenged the nerves of all his readers. This summer Patterson's When the Wind Blows went straight onto The Sunday Times bestseller list on its paperback publication. It was number one for four weeks and now, 12 weeks since publication, When the Wind Blows still sits healthily at number 7. Cat and Mouse, published in hardback in December 1997 went to number 8 on The Sunday Times bestseller list and number 3 on its paperback publication. Even before these bestselling success stories the film of Kiss the Girls had been released and became a box office success in the States and the U.K. Now, in Pop Goes the Weasel Patterson's fictional hero, Alex Cross makes his return. It's a page-turner of the first-class that will have the committed fan on the edge of their seat and persuade those not already converted to buy a Patterson immediately.
James Patterson lives with his wife and their child on the east coast of the States.
Cradle and All, the next thriller from James Patterson, will be published in April 2000.
