… More »Detective Alex Cross arrests renowned plastic surgeon Elijah Creem for sleeping with teenage girls. Now, his life ruined, Creem is out of jail, and he's made sure that no one will recognize him--by giving himself a new face. A young woman is found hanging from a sixth-floor window, and Alex is called to the scene. The victim recently gave birth, but the baby is nowhere to be found. Before Alex can begin searching for the missing newborn and killer, he's called to investigate a second crime. All of Washington, D.C., is in a panic, and when a third body is discovered, rumours of three serial killers send the city into an all-out frenzy. Alex's investigations are going nowhere, and he's too focused on the cases to notice that someone has been watching him--and will stop at nothing until he's dead.

Add a CommentAnother great book by James Patterson and holds your interest until the very end.
As a relatively new fan of Patterson, I guess I am not yet jaded. I enjoyed the book. It was easy reading out on the patio in the sun. I had no expectations and was therefore not as "disappointed" as the other readers who left comments.
I put it in the bottom five in the Cross series. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was of what happened to Ada, it took me by suprise.
A waste of ink!
I will preface this by saying that up until the last 2 books in the series, I have been an avid Alex Cross lover. When I couldn’t get into this book, as it appeared to be taking a similar path as the last 2, I read reviews by other former Alex Cross lovers. After reading those reviews, my suspicions that, again, I’d be sorely disappointed in another Alex Cross book were confirmed so I put the book down, rather than wasting time reading it that I’d never get back. In my opinion, it is time that Patterson retire the Alex Cross series rather than continue to churn out meaningless volumes.
With an unbelievable body count of 17, this book written, without help, by James Patterson, focuses both on the murderers and the detective. In alternating chapters, the reader knows exactly who committed the crimes and how they were done. These violent descriptions might be a turn off for some sensitive readers. There are no surprises at the very end about who the killer was nor enjoyment for the reader in trying to follow the clues to figure out who was the killer before being told. There are multiple story lines with main and secondary killers - all sociopaths - intertwined with Alex Cross's family. All ends are tied at the end of the story so there is no cliffhanger for the next book to pickup. The book is an easy, non-challenging read with 3 page chapters.
