Publisher Description

Alex Cross races against time as a series of crimes stuns Washington, D. C.—and he might be facing his most brilliant enemy yet.

In a series of terrifying crimes, bank robbers have been laying out precise demands when they enter the building-and then killing the bank employees and their families if those instructions are not followed to the letter.

Detective Alex Cross takes on the case, certain that this is no ordinary bank robber at work; the pathological need for control and perfection is too great. Cross is in the midst of a personal crisis at home, but the case becomes all-consuming as he learns that the Mastermind is plotting one huge, last, perfect crime.

"Detective Alex Cross is looking for the "Mastermind" who has interviewed and only hired the chosen few to do his bank robberies and killings! The FBI and local law enforcement are playing the same game as the mastermind. Who will win?"

    " I read this a while ago but for some reason hadn't put it on here. Again you are in trouble if you know Alex Cross. I guessed the criminal's identity quite early on, which was a shame. Hopefully the sequel will be better. "

    " Maybe a little less memorable than some of the others in the series, but still a page-turner. The big "shocker" at the end was less shocking than it should have been being that I went "Oh, I bet it's so-and-so." Got me through some of the time I spent on the couch after I threw my back out.
