The second novel in the bestselling Alex Cross series

Detective Alex Cross is caught between two murderous masterminds, but he isn't the only one in danger this time...

When his niece goes missing, Alex Cross follows the trail and discovers links to a string of abductions, murders, and a horrifying complication.

Two killers are competing to commit worse crimes than the other and their collaboration becomes a national threat.

With his family at risk, Alex knows that the investigation puts him directly in the firing line...

Adapted as a major Hollywood movie starring Morgan Freeman

Commentaires

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page ... Simply put: Nobody does it better (JEFFREY DEAVER)
Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it. (LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
James Patterson is The Boss. End of. (IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series)
Twenty years ago, I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed. (NELSON DEMILLE)
Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative, so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that ... James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series)
[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. (DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD)
Alex Cross is a legend. (HARLAN COBEN)
Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. (MICHAEL CONNELLY)
Patterson hit the ball out of the park with his last go-around, the bestselling Along Came a Spider. Kiss the Girls is even better. (DALLAS MORNING NEWS)
Tough to put down... ticks like a time bomb, always full of threat and tension. (LA TIMES)

Le plus pertinent
This story reeks with implausible situations, the detective is absolutely clueless, his psychology is totally off kilter, there are no clues either for the reader to follow, the police and the FBI do not even seem to be doing the basic grunt work of interviewing witnesses, the first killer is found due to some deus-ex-machina clue left by a victim (we never find out how she got the info), the second killer is a let-down solution that leaves the reader dissatisfied, the half-baked love story is boring: in fact I do not know how I made it through the 100 and some chapter of this utterly unconvincing ´thriller´ (I was not even thrilled).
In any case, if this is the best James Patterson can do, I will give up reading his books (the first Alex Cross was not very good, either) and happily turn to some thriller writers who know better how to write a convincing story. Try Michael Robotham!

Totally implausible
