James Patterson UnitedHealthcare CEO killed book.

James Patterson and Vicky Ward are collaborating on a new book about the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The book will explore the hunt for his alleged killer, Luigi Mangione. Little, Brown & Company announced the project, which currently has no title or release date. Patterson and Ward plan to use exclusive interviews, firsthand reporting and court transcripts. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to a federal murder charge for the December shooting. Patterson describes the story as “the American Dream Gone Wrong.” The pair’s previous book, “The Idaho Four,” became a national bestseller last month.
