The NYPD Red series, co-written by Marshall Karp and James Patterson, follows an elite NYPD task force assigned to protect New York City’s most important citizens. The ten books, published between 2012 and 2025, feature fast-paced investigations involving the rich and powerful.
Starting with NYPD Red (2012), the series has grown to include numbered sequels and titled entries like Red Alert (2018). The combination of Patterson’s storytelling pace and Karp’s detective fiction experience keeps the books moving quickly through their plots.
