I just found a silly bit of trivia about him. In 1997 or so, he was named one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People in the world.
Yawn.
His looks withstanding, his books are really good.
The Winner started with a pretty interesting premise. A young unwed mother in Georgia was literally offered something that she couldn't refuse... a guaranteed win of a National Lottery (her prize? $100 million).
A whole bunch of mystery and intrigue resulted and we were left with a 500 page thriller that hit upon all the major key components of death, sex, lies, and secrets to result in a finish of major proportions.
It's another "throw away" book in that you won't learn anything of major significance or even remember the characters in a week or so, but I can tell you that the ride was a fun one.
I am going to read the next book in the chronological list next -- The Simple Truth.
It should be fun...all the rest have been.
