Another Alex Cross book, and this one keeps you glued to the pages. It's a terrifying trail of kidnapped bodies that were bought for dark, dark pleasures. And this is Cross's first case at the FBI when he is still supposed to be in training. He's trying to figure out his place, this case, and keep his family together. I enjoyed this story, as I am enjoying every Cross book. Cross feels and acts like a real person, and maybe that's why I can relate to his story. It's not just about the case, but the thoughts and feelings, and the ability of profiling that keeps me reading Patterson's work on Cross (among his other stories).
