The spectacular international bestseller that introduced Washington-based homicide detective Alex Cross and launched James Patterson's career as one of the fastest-selling thriller writers in the world -- now reissued in striking new cover style. He had always wanted to be famous. When he kidnapped two well-known rich kids, it was headline news. Then one of them was found -- dead -- and the whole nation was in uproar. For such a high-profile case, they needed the top people -- Alex Cross, a black detective with a PhD in psychology, and Jezzie Flanagan, an ambitious young Secret Service agent -- yet even they were no match for the killer. He had the unnerving ability to switch from blood-crazed madness to clear-eyed sanity in an instant. But was he the helpless victim of a multiple-personality disorder -- or a brilliant, cold-blooded manipulator?
I saw this movie on Amazon now that long ago and I always noticed that it recommended I read the book on here. I always chose something else but since the movie trailer looked good, I decided to read the book before I watched the movie as the books are always better than the movies. I'm really glad that I did, because I just loved this book. I love Alex Cross and I've always loved police and crime solving shows on tv, but for some reason not for books.
This book just drew me in and it is a long book and I just tried to finish it as quick as I could. I'm starting to like crime solving books and I can't wait to read the 2nd book.
