Here's the annual Forbes ranking of the 15 top-grossing authors in the book industry. Can you guess who's No. 1?
The crime novelist ranked as No. 1 on Forbes' list. This should come as no surprise considering that Patterson published 13 novels this year, including a new installment in his "Alex Cross" series, about a psychologist who often works with the government. Titles of his such as "Along Came a Spider" have been adapted for TV and film, and a movie adaptation of his "Maximum Ride" series is planned for 2013. Forbes estimates Patterson's 2012 earnings at $94 million.
