James Brendan Patterson is an American author and philanthropist. In 1996 Patterson quit his advertising job to concentrate on writing. While continuing to work on the profitable Alex Cross series, he began to branch out into other literary genres, such as romance novels and historical fiction. For Miracle on the 17th Green, an inspirational story about a middle-aged golfer, Patterson undertook the practice of writing with a coauthor, and many of his subsequent novels were collaborations. He launched a second series with 1st to Die, which introduced readers to the Women’s Murder Club, a quartet of women professionals who team up to solve crimes. The series proved popular and served as the basis for a short-lived television series. Later entries in the numerically titled series, including 7th Heaven, 11th Hour, 14th Deadly Sin, and 16th Seduction, were written with coauthors. In Don't Blink, New York City magazine journalist Nick Daniels is a man who knows what it takes to get a good story. Whether it’s risking his life in Darfur where he’s chased by Janjaweed militiamen or running in Manhattan’s high society circles, he’s willing to push all limits to pursue the truth. He approaches each assignment with the dogged determination of both street reporter and gumshoe detective. Those skills become essential to his survival… You can listen online to free English audiobook “Don't Blink” by James Patterson and Howard Roughan on our website.
