Alex Cross takes on the Nigerian underworld in Washington, DC. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Patterson's 14th Alex Cross thriller doesn't follow up on the plot threads left dangling in 2007's Double Cross concerning still-on-the-loose serial killer Kyle Craig. Instead, Cross, a Washington, D.C., police detective, takes on a very different quarry-a human monster known as the Tiger with ties to the African underworld. When the Tiger and his teenage thugs butcher writer Ellie Cox, her husband and children in their Georgetown home, Cross is devastated because Ellie had been his girlfriend in college. The Cox family massacre proves to be just the first in a series. Cross pursues the Tiger to Nigeria, where the profiler finds himself at the mercy of corrupt government officials who may be working with the Tiger. Spending less time than usual exploring his villain's psychological backstory, Patterson delivers an atypical tale of James Bond-style revenge. Craig's brief cameo toward the end suggests the series will resume its usual path in the next book. (Nov. 17) Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.

This book would make an action packed movie. A real page turner.
Agree with GOAT. It was a little unbelievable in all the scenarios Cross himself into. I found it likely my least favorite of the Cross series.
The book is definitely an interesting page-turner, except that Alex Cross is near death about 12 times, and escapes believably maybe twice...
OK read but before you turned the page you could guess what was to happen and how it would end.
