He has a team of writers doing it for him.
It's not that little known - he puts their names on the cover too, Tom Clancy style. There's lots of detail about that in the article:
"In at least one instance, Patterson took on a co-author in an effort to boost sales: last year, after noticing he wasn’t selling in Scandinavia, he invited Sweden’s best-selling crime writer, Liza Marklund, to collaborate with him on an international thriller. Their novel, “The Postcard Killers,” is just being published in Sweden and will be out in the U.S. this summer."
Plus lots of other frightening stuff that bodes badly for real books.
