In The Jester James Patterson and his occasional collaborator Andrew Cross step across genre boundaries and produce a hectic historical adventure of distinctly mixed merit. This is a revenge story, mystery and love story across insuperable class barriers--the mixture is rich and the ingredients sometimes ill-combined.

User Description: Historical fiction is not my favourite genre but I decided to buy this as I love James Patterson's books...WOW! This has to be one of the best books I have ever read, adventure, love, betrayal, history...this has it all. One of the very few books I can honestly give 10 out of 10 to.
