Book Description:
Just when Alex thought his life was calming down into a routine of patients and therapy sessions, he finds himself back in the game--this time to catch a criminal mastermind like no other. A spate of elaborate murders in Washington D.C. have the whole East Coast on edge. They are like nothing Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. With each murder, the case becomes increasingly complex. There's only one thing Alex knows: the killer adores an audience. As victims are made into gruesome spectacles citywide, inducing a media hysteria, it becomes clear to Alex that the man he's after is a genius of terror--and he's after fame. The killer has the whole city by its strings--and he'll stop at nothing to become the most terrifying star that Washington D.C. has ever seen.

In this Alex Cross tale Washington DC is terrorized by a killer who stages elaborate murders in front of other people. When a second murder occurs there are fears of a copy cat. Alex finds himself drawn back into the police department to help solve the crimes. Adding to the mystery Alex's old nemesis Kyle Craig finds a way to escape from the maximum security prison where he has been incarcerated. Is he part of the crime spree? The blatant murders continue as the frustrated Alex seeks to find a common denominator and stop the killer or jillers before the violence hits his own family. A really good fast moving story with yet another surprise ending.

Always look to the Alex Cross books for a quick read. Formula writing, but readable.

Great book if you are looking for a simple fast read. I always picture Morgan Freeman for James patterson charactor, Alex Cross. It just fits so well. Quick book that made me want to read the rest of the series!

I love, love, love James Patterson and really enjoy the Alex Cross books, but this was not one of my favorites. I was totally not in to the story line. Here's hoping the next one is better!

Alex Cross rejoins the DC Police force to confront two of the most diabolic killers he's ever encountered. Just when his life is calming down, Alex is drawn back into a lethal game like no other. In DC a maniac stages his killings as spectacles in public settings. Alex is pursuing a genius of terror who has the whole city on edge. And the killer loves the attention - he even sets up his own Web site and live video feed to trumpet his madness. In Colorado, another brilliant madman is planning a triumphant return. From his supermaximum security prison cell, Kyle craig has plotted for years an impossible escape. If he has to join forces with DC's Audience Killer to get back at the man who put in that prison - Alex Cross - all the better.
I hadn't read a book of his in a while - a good "beach book". Predictable.
