HTML:Detective Alex Cross must confront his most terrifying nemesis ever â?? and his own deepest fears â?? in this electrifying thriller from the world's #1 bestselling writer. D.C. Detective Alex Cross has seen a lot of crime scenes. But even he is appalled by the gruesome murders of two joggers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park-killings that look more like the work of savage beasts than humans. Local police are horrified and even the FBI is baffled. Then, as Cross is called in to take on the case, the carnage takes off, leaving a trail of bodies across America and sweeping him to Savannah, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Los Angeles as his nemesis, the merciless criminal known as the Mastermind, stalks him, taunts him, and once again, threatens everything he holds d… (plus d'informations)
Another good, solid read in the Alex Cross series that finally, finally solves the MasterMind mystery! Whew!
This slightly creepy thriller delves into the world of vampires, both of the blood-sucking type and the type known as "psychic vampires" when a series of murders occurs. These murders include bite marks and a young pair of brothers who were raised in a Santa Cruz commune and are now out causing mayhem and murder.
There is also a pair of magicians who use a white tiger (along with several other animals) in their magic acts, and they, too, have a vampire cult following. The question comes up time and again: are the two sets of murderers linked, and if so, how?
Detective Cross is putting back his life after Christine has left, with young Alex joining his family with Nana. And he once again is pulled into investigating this series of murders at the expense of time away from his family and broken promises. It's a chorus only too familiar to this smart, driven family man and his son, daughter, and grandmother Nana.
The ending takes some interesting twists and turns, and wow! is how it resolves in the end. ( )
I really enjoyed this book. I read it on our trip for the holidays. Another page turner. Was wondering the whole time when Alex would find out who the Mastermind was. Ready to read the next one. ( )

Tämä kirja on omistettu ystävälleni Kyle Craigille, joka ei työskentele FBI:ssa mutta jolla on mielestäni tosi siisti nimi. Täytyy mainita myös muutama muu taiteensuosija: Jim Heekin, Mary Jordan, Fern Galperin, Maria Pugatch, Irene Markocki, Barbara Groszewski, Tony Peyser ja oma suloinen Suzieni.
