Honeymoon
All writers have a book that they know Is their very best. Ever. James Patterson invites you along to his.
How does it feel to be desired by every man and envied by every woman? Wonderful.
This is the life Nora Sinclair has dreamed about, the life she’s worked hard for. the life she will never give up.
Meet Nora Sinclair
When FBI Agent John O’Hara first meets her, she seems perfect. She has the career. The charisma. The sophistication. The tantalising sex appeal. The whole extraordinary package - Nora doesn’t just attract men, she enthrals them.
If you dare
So why is the FBI so interested in Miss Sinclair? Mysterious things keep happening to the men in her life. And when Agent O’Hara looks more closely he sees something dangerous about Nora - something that lures him at the same time as it fills him with fear. And the more time he spends with her the less he knows whether he is pursuing justice or his own fatal obsession.
With the irresistible attraction of the greatest Hitchcock thrillers, Honeymoon is a sizzling, twisting tale of a woman with a deadly appetite and the men who dare to fall for her.
In his sexiest, scariest novel yet, James Patterson (writing with co-author Howard Roughan) deftly confirms why he is the world’s bestselling thriller writer.
Howard Roughan is the author of The Up And Comer and The Promise Of A Lie. He lives in Connecticut with his wife and son.

London Bridges
FBI agent Alex Cross is back – and he’s not the only one. So are ‘the weasel’ and ‘the wolf’ in an international chase that proves to be Alex Cross’ biggest campaign against evil so far.
What are the terms that will guarantee the safety of four of the world’s major cities – London, Paris, Tel Aviv and Washington? If the billions of dollars and hostages demanded are delivered will the world be free from terror? Who is ‘the wolf’ – man or woman? What went wrong in Paris to link him so closely to the CIA? And how come ‘the weasel’ is in his power? All are questions that not only Alex Cross but agents working for Interpol, Scotland Yard and the French National Police are trying to solve and which, for the first time, bring Alex Cross to the streets of London.
Alex Cross joined the FBI on the promise of more time with his family but, as ever, promises never deliver. It’s rare that he can make the trip out to Seattle to see his son, little Alex, even rarer to make it to San Francisco to see Jamilla Hughes, and while Nana Mama is as stubborn as ever about her health, Alex is increasingly anxious that her bravado is just for show.
