The breathtaking suspense of Kiss the Girls and the authenticity of N.Y.P.D. Welcome to James Patterson’s classic superthriller, Black Friday . A courageous federal agent, a powerful and resourceful woman lawyer – only they can possibly stop the unspeakable from happening. New York City is under siege by a secret militia group – and that’s just the beginning of the relentless terror of Black Friday . I love to lose myself in a thriller especially the rare one that moves along like an out-of-control freight train. The thriller that actually got me started writing was The Day of the Jackal . With Black Friday , I wanted to concoct a shamelessly manipulative story that the reader couldn’t wait to finish, but didn’t want to end. Now get on this freight train! — James Patterson Originally published in 1987 as Black Market , also by James Patterson.
