Finally, Patterson is back on his game. After the last Alex Cross book that was so disconnected I was a little worried that I might just have to give up on one of my favorite authors. Glad I didn't though because this book was very well thought out as it connected Cross's investigations, home life, and even his own stalker into one storyline.
The story begins with a well known plastic surgeon, Elijah Creem, being busted for hosting very scandalous parties involving underage kids. He does all that he can to get out trouble, but loses everything in the process including his wife and daughters. In the mean time, Cross gets a new case where a beautiful woman has been found murdered in her car, with most of her hair ripped off. Another is found hanging from a sixth floor window, and she has recently had a baby. The third body is found, this time a male, and Washington DC finds itself with three serial killers at once. However, two of them are working as a pair. While Cross is frantically working to solve the cases that keep adding bodies to their killing sprees, he fails to notice that one of them is actually coming after him. With a fast pace book and a life-altering ending for the Cross family this book will keep you on board until the very end!
