Publisher's Note At the onset of his career with the FBI, Alex Cross is instructed to track down a band of kidnappers who are snatching people and possibly selling them into slavery, a case that is complicated by a terrible threat to Cross's own family and his frustrations with the Bureau's outdated methods.
Industry Reviews "...[V]astly entertaining....Full of plot surprises and featuring a balanced mix of intrigue, hard action, and angst, the novel...grips from start to finish. The Alex Cross series remains Patterson's finest, and this is the finest Cross in years." (starred review) Publishers Weekly (10/06/2003)
