For all James Patterson fans the wait is over and you can now get your hands on the latest Alex Cross novel. Pace, cliff hanging chapters - basically unputdownable.
Several high profile murders in LA have the whole district panicking. All of the victims are 'perfect' mothers, the image of motherhood. Very realistic first-person accounts of the murders from someone who calls herself Mary Smith have been arriving at the LA Times and FBI agent Alex Cross is called in to try to solve the case.
James Patterson is one of the best-known and biggest selling writers of all time. He is the author of some of the bestselling series of the past decade: the Women's Murder Club, the Alex Cross novels and Maximum Ride, and he has written many other number one bestsellers including romance novels and stand alone thrillers.
