Intense and powerful
Working my way through the Alex Cross series, so far this is the one that has the most twists and unforeseen actions. Between hunting Soneji and then Mr. Smith, it's a long road for Cross and Sampson, the duo that keeps each other sane. This story drew me in with the dangling of Soneji, and kept me turning the pages intensely. There are some delicate and tragic scenes, but it balances with the intimacy of the heart that Cross has for Christine.
