Prolific author James Patterson is a popular novelist whose books regularly appear on bestseller lists. He has written books for children and romance stories. However, his best genre is his tough and gritty crime novels. Patterson’s two most popular series are The Women’s Murder Club and The Alex Cross novels.
My personal favorite is the series about Detective Alex Cross. Patterson writes these novels from a first person perspective. You get to see the story unfold through Cross’ eyes.
Patterson describes Cross as an African-American man who “is six foot three, weighs 200 pounds, and is athletic. He still lives on Fifth Street in D.C., with Nana Mama, Damon and Jannie, and Rosie the cat. He drives a Mercedes Benz R 350. Alex Cross is forty-two years old”. Cross has a “PH.D. in psychology from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. Special concentration in the field of abnormal psychology and forensic psychology”. He is a homicide detective with the Washington, D.C., Police Department. He specializes in cases involving serial killers and this has earned him the nickname, “The Dragon Slayer”.
