Order of Christopher Paget Books

Christopher Paget stands as one of Richard North Patterson's most enduring fictional creations, serving as the protagonist in the acclaimed American author's legal thriller series. Patterson, known primarily for crafting standalone novels rather than extended series, introduced Paget in his very first published work, The Lasko Tangent, in 1979.

This legal thriller series represents Patterson's foray into the genre that would define much of his literary career. Despite Paget's significance as Patterson's inaugural character, the series remains relatively compact, with the character appearing in just four novels since his debut over four decades ago. This selective approach reflects Patterson's preference for standalone storytelling while maintaining continuity with this particular character.
