He’s a multi-award winning author of adult and children’s books. The world’s bestselling author. And an amazing backer of bookstores, booksellers, librarians and school libraries. James Patterson is a writer’s writer and is acclaimed the world over for his work and philanthropy.
So it’s no wonder Anderson’s Bookshop is ecstatic to welcome Patterson to Naperville as he discusses his new book, Killer Instinct.
About the Book: In James Patterson’s new blockbuster, Killer Instinct, Dr. Dylan Reinhart and Detective Elizabeth Needham–now known to audiences from the top-rated CBS series–reunite to stop the most sinister plot against New York City since 9/11.
The murder of an Ivy League professor pulls Dr. Dylan Reinhart out of his ivory tower and onto the streets of New York, where he reunites with his old partner, Detective Elizabeth Needham. As the worst act of terror since 9/11 strikes the city, a name on the casualty list rocks Dylan’s world. Is his secret past about to be brought to light?
As the terrorist attack unfolds, Elizabeth Needham does something courageous that thrusts her into the media spotlight. She’s a reluctant hero. And thanks to the attention, she also becomes a prime target for the ruthless murderer behind the attack.
Dylan literally wrote the book on the psychology of murder, and he and Elizabeth have solved cases that have baffled conventional detectives. But the sociopath they’re facing this time is the opposite of a textbook case. There’s no time to study for the test he’s about to give them. And if they fail, they die.
