Book Description:
Alex Cross is back--and so is the Big Bad Wolf.Members who requested this book also requested:
Terrorists have seized the worlds largest cities. London, Washington, DC, New York, and Frankfurt will be destroyed, unless their demands are met--and their demands are impossible. After a city in the western United States is fire bombed--a practice run--Alex Cross knows that it is only a matter of time before the bombers threats to the other cities are brutally executed.
Heading up the investigation by the FBI, CIA, and Interpol, Alex Cross is stunned when surveillance photos show Geoffrey Shafer, the Weasel, near one of the bombing sites. He senses the presence of the Wolf as well, the most vicious predator he has ever battled. With millions of lives in the balance, Cross has to see if the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the world can stay ahead of these two men's cunning.

"London Bridges" is another in James Patterson's Alex Cross series, and this book combines both the Wolf and the Weasel from earlier books.
In London Bridges, a Nevada town is wiped off the map by unidentified planes dropping bombs. Soon, the Wolf (a Russian Mafioso and terrorist) claims responsibility. Another Cross nemesis, the Weasel, is also seen near the scene. The Wolf soon demands that unless billions of dollars are paid in ransom and dozens of political prisoners are released, he will target four major international cities with nuclear bombs. Dr. Alex Cross is a former Washington, DC policeman who is now with the FBI. He is placed on the case because of his familiarity with both the Wolf and the Weasel. The FBI, CIA, MI5, Interpol, the French police and a host of other law enforcement agencies are all involved in trying to track down the killers, who are leaving way too many dead bodies in their wake. Cross travels across the US, as well as to London, Paris and Zurich--following the terrorists and tracking down clues. Unfortunately, the bad guys always seem to be one step ahead of law enforcement and it appears that they may be getting inside help.
Unfortunately, London Bridges is not without its problems. Having the Wolf and the Weasel together was way over the top. I wasn't quite sure why Patterson even included the Weasel, as his role is never really explained. The number of people the Wolf had working for him was totally unbelievable. And I think Patterson set a record for dead bodies. The ending was a stretch and left many questions unanswered.
I always enjoy Patterson's books, but I always keep in mind that these are typical beach books--short, fast-paced, exciting but not too intricate.

Fantastic follow up to The Big Bad Wolf! All of the twists and turns really leave you scratching your head until the last 20 pages. Definitely a page turner and a half!
