Overview
Step into the tense, corruption-riddled streets of Chicago with this three-book paperback collection following Detective Billy Harney across The Black Book, The Red Book, and Escape. Written by James Patterson alongside co-author and former prosecutor David Ellis, this trio blends propulsive plotting with real procedural texture. Harney, the son of Chicago's Chief of Detectives, is pulled deeper into political conspiracies, drive-by shootings turned political theater, and a relentless manhunt with each successive book. Fans of fast-paced American crime fiction will find sharp dialogue, twisting investigations, and a hero worth rooting for across all three thrillers.

About the Books
This paperback bundle gathers three connected thrillers from the Billy Harney series, co-written by James Patterson and David Ellis, a former trial attorney whose legal background shapes the series' procedural detail. The Black Book opens the saga: being a cop runs in Billy Harney's family, as the son of Chicago's Chief of Detectives, and when his twin sister Patti becomes entangled in a dangerous case, Harney is drawn into a conspiracy threatening to expose corruption at the top of city government. The Red Book raises the stakes when a drive-by shooting on Chicago's West Side spirals into a politically charged investigation, forcing Harney to untangle memory gaps and conflicting evidence to clear his name as a larger cover-up emerges around him. Escape closes the set with a breathless chase: after a deadly trap claims his partner's life, Harney is pushed to outmaneuver a calculating killer before more innocent victims fall. Across all three books, Patterson's short chapters and cinematic pacing meet Ellis's grounded understanding of investigations, courtrooms, and police work, giving Harney's world lived-in credibility. Readers follow one consistent, human detective wrestling with family loyalty, institutional corruption, and the cost of chasing the truth. Sold together as a brand-new paperback set, this collection lets thriller fans move through the entire story arc without any gaps between books.
