Holmes, Marple and Poe

Brendan Holmes, Margaret Marple and August Poe run the most in-demand private investigation firm in New York City.<br/><br/>The three detectives make a formidable team, solving a series of seemingly impossible crimes which expose the dark underbelly of the city; from priceless art theft, a high-stakes kidnapping, and a decades-old unsolved murder, to a gruesome subterranean prison, and corruption and bribery at the highest levels of power.<br/><br/>But it's not long before their headline-grabbing breakthroughs, unconventional methods - and untraceable pasts - attract the attention of the NYPD and the FBI.<br/><br/>After all, it's no surprise that there's a mystery or two to unravel in the city that never sleeps . . . not least, who really are Holmes, Marple and Poe?<br/><br/>________________________<br/><br/>'One of the greatest storytellers of all time' Patricia Cornwell<br/>'A writer with an unusual skill at thriller plotting.' Mark Lawson, Guardian<br/>'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.' Lee Child<br/>'James Patterson is The Boss. End of.' Ian Rankin<br/>'The master storyteller of our times' Hillary Rodham Clinton<br/>'It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer . . . Simply put: nobody does it better.' Jeffrey Deaver<br/>'Patterson boils a scene down to the 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
