A powerful new Alex Cross thriller from #1 bestseller James Patterson introduces the most vicious killer yet - a maniac who calls himself the Mastermind.
The Mastermind orchestrates a series of bank robberies that are notable for their precise demands - and their explosive violence when the demands are not met exactly. Detective Alex Cross takes on the case and recognizes that a particular kind of criminal mind is at work. Cross's investigation gets under the Mastermind's skin, and he makes it his personal goal to take revenge on Cross and his entire team.
Amidst all this, Cross's relationship with his girlfriend Christine is falling apart, and his beloved daughter Jannie is hospitalized with unexplained seizures. The pressure rises on every front, culminating in a shocking and explosive climax.

Like all the other James Patterson books, especially the Alex Cross series this book is the same - a great thriller that keeps you guessing right to the end. He has the usual short chapter set up which we all love I am sure making this a short read full of suspense...Great read would recommend to anyone
