Little, Brown and Company, 2007
One of my favs
+ Fun little read for the airport
I've read many of Patterson's books but this was one of my favorites. In fact, I liked it so much, I read it again once I finished it the first time. What I like most about the book was the angle it comes from - something different, fresh and capturing.
