'NYPD Red' by James Patterson Bumps 'Fifty Shades of Grey, Darker, Freed' on New York Times Bestseller List

James Patterson has written another police thriller that should keep you guessing from the beginning to the end.

"NYPD Red" landed on the New York Times bestseller list and bumped E.L. James' "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed." It also bumped all three of the "Fifty Shades" books on the USA Today Bestseller List. The fiction book was published on Oct. 8 by Little, Brown & Company. The 400-page book is described:

It's the start of Hollywood on Hudson, and New York City is swept up in the glamour. Every night, the red carpet rolls out for movie stars arriving at premieres in limos; the most exclusive restaurants close for private parties for wealthy producers and preeminent directors; and thousands of fans gather with the paparazzi, hoping to catch a glimpse of the most famous and beautiful faces in the world. With this many celebrities in town, special task force NYPD Red is on high alert-and they can't afford to make a single mistake.

Then a world-renowned producer fatally collapses at his power breakfast, and top NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan is the first one on the scene. Zach works with his beautiful new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald-who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend-to discover who the murderer might be. But this is only the beginning: the most brutal, public, and horrifyingly spectacular crimes they've ever encountered are about to send all of New York into chaos, putting NYPD Red on the ropes.

Zach and Kylie know there's no way of telling what a killer this deranged will do next. With the whole world watching, they have to find a way to stop a psychopath who has scripted his finale down to the last explosive detail. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, NYPD Red is the next mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." (TIME)
