Riassunto

The Mastermind is back - and he's hot on Washington, DC, detective Alex Cross's trail. His cold, taunting threats leave Alex angry and deeply concerned for his family's safety while he is away from home. Two joggers have been found dead in San Francisco - bitten and hung by their feet to drain the blood. Further murders in California, and then on the East Coast as well, completely baffle Alex and the FBI. Is this the work of a cult, or role players, or even of modern-day vampires? Desperate to stop the deaths, Alex teams up with Jamilla Hughes, a savvy woman detective, and the FBI's Kyle Craig. But Alex has never been closer to defeat, or in greater danger. He must survive a deadly confrontation - only to learn at last the awful secret of the Mastermind.

This superb thriller kept me reading all night. I could not put it down and read the 440 pages in two sessions. (Telegraph & Argus Bradford)

'It's tightly written and you can't stop yourself turning the pages. No wonder Patterson's got his canines firmly into the bestseller lists.' Bournemouth Daily Echo (Bournemouth Daily Echo)

'If any writer plays cat and mouse with your emotions and fears, it is James Patterson, in a class of his own in the thriller/chiller stakes...Not many can keep the nail-biting and the nerve-shredding up until the very end, but Patterson never lets you off the hook.' Northern Echo (Northern Echo)
