DESCRIPTION:
The FBI joins Patterson's dogged cop in a particularly unsettling investigation: two San Francisco joggers have been viciously murdered and are found suspended by their feet, with all the blood drained from their corpses. Patterson fans expect the extremely concise, page-turning chapters (116 of them here!), along with a reluctance to dawdle over details of his hero's personal life, and both characteristics are firmly back in place.

At the same time, a lethal super-criminal from Cross's past known as the Mastermind is stalking him, taunting him, and threatening everything he holds dear. But when two

Obviously, I've done this somewhat out of order! Looking forward to reading some others with this particular character. Of course, my Alex Cross is Morgan Freeman but given that I love him as an actor, it's OK :). Marc Ruby™ said Tyger, Tyger Burning [Not So] Bright. Tyger, Tyger Burning [Nearly] BrightFor some reason, James Patterson's novels about Alex Cross, the psychologist turned police detective, never seem to develop. Not that a series has to develop, but Alex Cross, for many reasons, should have more depth to him after seven novels. Especially considering the effect his investigations have on his emotional life. But he goes on about the same, with the same too perfect family, with a series of similarly unsuccessful or tragic. Pretty Terrible John B. Daukas Unbelievable - e.g. two television stars walk from a Las Vegas show to their hotel room at a famous hotel with their extremely memorable and distinctive looking killers and 1) no witnesses see them, 2) there is no video.
