The twenty-first novel in James Patterson's bestselling series featuring Detective Alex Cross
John Sweeney is a writer and journalist who, while working for the BBC, has challenged dictators, despots, cult leaders, con artists and crooked businessmen for many years. As a reporter, first for the Observer and then for the BBC, Sweeney has covered wars and chaos in more than eighty countries and been undercover to a number of tyrannies, including Chechnya, North Korea and Zimbabwe. Over the course of his career, John has won an Emmy, two Royal Television Society Awards, a Sony Gold Award, a What the Papers Say Journalist of the Year Award, an Amnesty International Award and the Paul Foot Award.
Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no
one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent –
which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it.
It just rolls along, irresistibly. Here's to the next twenty
years.

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular
thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing
characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I
do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from
the first to last page. I've been a devoted Alex Cross fan for
twenty years, when the first in the series appeared, and Cross My
Heart proves that both author and his hero are at the top of their
game. It's virtually a one-sitting read, and what a read it is: Get
ready for sweaty palms and lost sleep – and prepare yourself for
one of the most gripping endings of any thriller in recent memory.
Simply put: Nobody does it better.

James Patterson is The Boss. End of.

Twenty years ago, I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best
thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this
season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson
a household name." A household name, indeed. Congratulations, Jim,
on twenty years of Alex Cross and on Cross My Heart, which I am
loving. You the man.

Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally
changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative,
so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the
measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer –
James Patterson – began to do just that. Now, 20 years later, with
his mission still unfolding, James Patterson is the gold standard
by which all others are judged. Bravo, Jim.
