  <default-description>Just when Alex thought his life was calming down into a routine of patients and therapy sessions, he finds himself back in the game--this time to catch a criminal mastermind like no other. A spate of elaborate murders in Washington D.C. have the whole East Coast on edge. They are like nothing Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. With each murder, the case becomes increasingly complex. There's only one thing Alex knows: the killer adores an audience. As victims are made into gruesome spectacles citywide, inducing a media hysteria, it becomes clear to Alex that the man he's after is a genius of terror--and he's after fame. The killer has the whole city by its strings--and he'll stop at nothing to become the most terrifying star that Washington D.C. has ever seen.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[A fan of the Alex Cross series, I liked the earlier Patterson books<br/>which didn't take so much for granted, as of to say--I'm the best-seller writing machine, so if you're not with who all the characters are and what their realtionships are, you'll just have to catch up on your own. Sure the sto...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57251272">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A stronger book than some of the recent ones. I've loved some of the cross series but have felt ripped off with others as they just seem to lead on to another book, however the good ones are good enough to put up with the bad ones.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have a similar complaint with this book as I did with the last one, Cross, but overall it was an enjoyable read.  I'm noticing more and more how awkward any action sequences are - anything that includes rapid movement, whether it's a fight scene or even a sex scene.

Of course there is an over the top killer(s) which I figured out very early.

    <body><![CDATA[	This book by James Patterson had the genre of suspense. I chose to do this book because I was told it will keep you waiting on the edge of your seat the whole time and it did. The detective Alex Cross is doing all he can to catch the two masterminds behind these horrifying deaths.
