Publisher's summary

Detective Alex Cross is back, and he's in love. Unfortunately, a series of chilling murders in Washington intervenes, with a plot twist you will never forget. Cross' ingenious pursuit of the quirky killer produces a suspect - a British diplomat named Geoffrey Shafer. But proving that Shafer is the murderer becomes a difficult and deadly task. As the diplomat engages in a brilliant series of surprising countermoves, both in and out of the courtroom, Cross and his fiancei become hopelessly involved with the most memorable villain Cross has ever faced.

Overall not my favorite Alex Cross novlel

I really loved the story of the four horsemen, but the trial seemed to drag on a little bit. All in all it was a decent book that left an opening for the next novel, but i really feel this one probably could have been left of out the overall story of Alex Cross.

Chapters out of order?

Near the end, it seems a couple of chapters are out of order. The story line does not follow. I don’t have a print copy to compare. Was confusing.

Another excellent Patterson novel!

Great mystery/suspense thriller by Patterson! Interesting plot with a somewhat surprising twist at the end. My only dislike was the narrator. In his attempt to sound dramatic, the inflection in his voice was inappropriate and distracting. I often found myself so annoyed by his narration style that I missed what was being said and had to keep rewinding it. Great story --- could have been even better with a better narrator!

Awsome!

I love the Alex Cross series. They are addictive and full of passion and always with a twisted ending everyone loves. This ending was the best yet!
