In 2000, he bought his own land, called Misery Mountain, in Cherry Plain; and in 2006 he moved permanently.

He is the author of ten novels, many of which, most notably the historic thriller The Alienist, have become global best-sellers and prize-winners, and his work was translated into more than two dozen languages. His book, The Lessons of Terror, worried one of his non-fiction areas of specialization, terrorism, and turned into a contentious yet standard quantity in the literature of that topic.

Asked what fiction authors have influenced him the most, he includes Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, Rudyard Kipling, William Gibson, and Michael Crichton.
His non-fiction influences he cites as "eclectic and too numerous to record."
