Publisher's Note In this heart-pounding but touchingly romantic new thriller, Detective Alex Cross pursues the most complex and brilliant killer he's ever confronted--mysterious criminal who calls himself the Mastermind. In a series of crimes that has stunned Washington, D.C., bank robbers have been laying out precise demands when they enter the building--and then killing the bank employees and their families if those instructions are not followed to the letter. Detective Alex Cross takes on the case, certain that this is no ordinary bank robber at work--the pathological need for control and perfection is too great. Cross is in the midst of a personal crisis at home, but the case becomes all-consuming as he learns that the Mastermind is plotting one huge, last, perfect crime.
Industry Reviews "[Patterson] knows where our deepest fears are buried...and when he comes up with a villain as twisted as this one, there's no stopping his imagination." New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio (12/10/2000)
"Patterson's intricate plots are notable for their atmospheric pressure, fraught features and a grim overhang whose moments of relief lapse into havoc. In ROSES ARE RED, as in its predecessors, venom and violence reign...." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Eugen Weber (12/24/2000)
"Big, fun, easy on the eyes, ROSES ARE RED has me looking for Patterson's earlier work. And the next one." Book - Randy Michael Signor
