The Big Bad Wolf The Big Bad Wolf

Publisher Description

In this thrilling novel from a New York Times bestselling author, Alex Cross battles the most ruthless and powerful killer he has ever encountered: a predator known only as the Wolf.
  Alex Cross's first case since joining the FBI has his new colleagues baffled. Across the country, men and women are being kidnapped in broad daylight and then disappearing completely. These people are not being taken for ransom, Alex realizes. They are being bought and sold. And it looks as if a shadowy figure called the Wolf-a master criminal who has brought a new reign of terror to organized crime-is behind this business.   Even as he admires the FBI's vast resources, Alex grows impatient with the Bureau's clumsiness and caution when it's time to move. A lone wolf himself, he has to go out on his own in order to track the Wolf and try to rescue some of the victims while they are still alive. As the case boils over, Alex is in hot water at home too. His ex-fiancee, Christine Johnson, comes back into his life-and not for the reasons he might have hoped.

Can’t put ‘em down!

What’s not to love? There’s action, intrigue, suspense, surprise … and even humor and love. I don’t know where James Patterson keeps getting his fresh ideas for new story lines, but I hope he keeps writing for many years to come!
As a 55 year old woman, I have to admit I had heard of him and had watched the movies “Along Came a Spider” and “Kiss the Girls”, starring Morgan Freeman. I’m so glad that I FINALLY started reading his books from the Alex Cross series. Not only are the books MUCH better than the movies (aren’t they always?), but they just have a way of drawing you in, captivating your imagination and making you WANT to know what’s going to happen next.
I used to wonder how people could be chain smokers and light one cigarette after another … well, now I understand. I’ve become a chain READER of James Patterson’s Alex Cross series. Thank you, Mr. Patterson! You’re truly a very gifted writer!
