"His books have sold more than 300 million copies[1]" according to the article. The inside flap of 'The Black Book pb edition, 2017) says 'over 350 million.'  I don't know if this is a usable source, though. Kdammers (talk) 22:00, 17 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

The mention of Patterson’s co-author John Connolly links to an Irish detective novelist, who is a different person with the same name. 162.83.249.14 (talk) 19:23, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
