He dropped his backpack, took off his circular glasses, and blotted the sudden tears in his eyes with the sleeve of his ancient jeans jacket.

Patterson ’s first novel, The Thomas Berryman Number from 1976 won the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best First Novel. I think I would rather read that than any more of his co-authored multi-releases-per-year. That ’s not to say that Worst Case is total garbage, but Ik’ve read far better escapism thrillers. For those of you that are Patterson fans I think yout’ll enjoy Worst Case. For those of you that are not, I wouldnu’t recommend giving Patterson another shot with this particular novel; though I have heard good things about the Alex Cross series, perhaps one of the other eight novels slated for 2010 release would be a better choice.
