The Red Book

A Black Book Thriller




The highly-anticipated sequel to Sunday Times bestseller The Black Book

Brought to you by Penguin.
___________________________

Detective Billy Harney exposes an evil lurking deep within his city - but it also brings his own past demons to light...

To Billy Harney, the newest member of Chicago PD's elite strike force, getting shot in the head, stalked by a state's attorney, and accused of murder by his fellow cops is all part of breaking a case.

So, when a drive-by shooting on the Chicago's West Side turns political, he doesn't shy away from leading the investigation.

As the easy answers prove to be the wrong ones, Harney's quest to expose the evil that's rotting the city from the inside out takes him to the one place he vowed never to return to: his own troubled past.

Praise for The Red Book

Crisply written . . . a fine thriller

Booklist

The Red Book is a police procedural with a roguish, quick-witted cop at it's heart. There's plenty of humour and oodles of action, sharp dialogue and clever plotting

NB Magazine

Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.

LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series

Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.

MICHAEL CONNELLY

James Patterson is the boss. End of.

IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series

James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged.

STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series

Patterson is in a class by himself.
