How does James Patterson use imagery in The Big Bad Wolf?

Imagery:

"The modern-day godfather. A forty-seven-year-old Russian now living in America and known as the Wolf. Rumored to be fearless, hands-on, into everything from weapon sales, extortion and drugs to legitimate businesses such as banking and venture capital. No one seemed to know his true identity, or his American name, or where he lived."

"Another of the captives, Audrey Meek, watched her obscene, deviate, possibly insane captor as he calmly and coolly fixed her breakfast."

"I could also make out someone else in the shadows of the barn. He was tied with leather bindings to a wooden post attached to a beam in the hayloft. He had no clothes on. Nothing. His chest and genitals were bloodied. But Francis Deegan was alive!"
