About this ebook

Detective Alex Cross must confront his most terrifying nemesis ever -- and his own deepest fears -- in this electrifying thriller from the world's #1 bestselling writer.
D.C. Detective Alex Cross has seen a lot of crime scenes. But even he is appalled by the gruesome murders of two joggers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park-killings that look more like the work of savage beasts than humans. Local police are horrified and even the FBI is baffled.
Then, as Cross is called in to take on the case, the carnage takes off, leaving a trail of bodies across America and sweeping him to Savannah, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Los Angeles as his nemesis, the merciless criminal known as the Mastermind, stalks him, taunts him, and once again, threatens everything he holds dear...

Ratings and reviews

I love the books in this series Alex Cross is my favorite fictional character of all time, but the vampire murders wasn't a hit for me but the catching of the mastermind was good. All in all still a good book... on to the next.

Patterson is great again as Alex Cross brings to a close mysteries that had their origin in Along Came a Spider. If your a fan you have to read the book.

This book is so interesting and it makes you want to finish the book and his next book. Even though his books are great I still want to read something different like espionage or terrorism.
