THE POSTCARD KILLERS - JAMES PATTERSON & LIZA MARKLUND



James Patterson teams up with #1 European bestselling author Liza Marklund to create the scariest vacation thriller ever written

PARIS IS STUNNING IN THE SUMMER

NYPD detective Jack Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren't what draw him --- he sees each museum, each cathedral , and each cafe through the eyes of his daughter's killer

THE KILLING IS SIMPLY MARVELOUS
Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have been found dead. Little connects the murders, other than a postcard to the local newspaper that precedes each new victim.

WISH YOU WERE HERE
Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm -- and they think they know where the next victims will be . With relentless logic and unstoppable action, The Postcard Killers may be James Patterson's most vivid and compelling thriller yet.

1. Malcolm Rudolph and sister Sylvia Rudolph are the masterminds of the so-called Postcard Killers....they had an incestuous relationship and thus were expelled from UCLA and not because they couldn't afford the fees.
2. Malcolm and Sylvia started the web project "The Society of Limitless Art.", and other Postcard Killers were part of this web project.
3. The manner in which the victims are killed are based on famous Artworks, eg. The Dying Dandy, The Self Portrait of Van Gogh, The Naked Maja, The Creation of Adam, Mona Lisa, Scream , et.al.,
4. Malcolm and Sylvia were released because no evidence can be found against them tying them to the crimes.
5. The key/password to the website was the phone number written on envelopes , the number of a pizzeria in Vienna.
6. Sylvia and Malcolm are both killed by Malcolm.
7. Jacob Kanon and Dessie Larsson gets romantically involved with each other.

Has anyone read 10th Anniversary?

[cyberfunk]

I have to say, James Pattersons series novels are becoming to be a bunch of sell outs. Except for the Bennet series, The Alex cross and the Maximum ride series tends to be boring from the last installments. I read the women's murders clubs first few novels and it felt like he's capitalizing on the feminist angle. It's like tv's talk show The View as the characters. Then there's the new witch and wizard series that reads like a harry potter spin off. I'm wondering why most of his novels of late are done with collaborations with the "Patterson trademark" missing. He may be prolific but he's not consistent. It feels he's milking every ounce of success from his previous good novels with the overdrawn series.

[Sweetkay]

^ I have to agree with you there. Toys and TickTock were not as good as the others. I did like PostCard Killers but some of the recent ones were a bit blah and doesn't seem to be written by him.

I have this awful feeling that they may just be printing his name there to make sure it sells but 75% of the books are not written by him anymore.

[cyberfunk]

Got to be one of the worse Alex Cross installment. What's going on with James Patterson?
