The review of this Book prepared by Lisa Elkins
Detective Alex Cross, homicide investigator, forensic psychologist, family man, piano-player, etc., returns to face his most deadly challenge so far in Patterson's fourth Cross novel.
Gary Soneji, the genius psychopath obsessed with becoming the world's most famous criminal, returns with a vengeance, cutting down eight people with a sniper-rifle in Union Station and leaving Cross's own blood on the murder weapon.
Moving on to New York, Soneji continues his rampage, slaughtering cops and civilians with equal abandon. Cross knows that there is something off about Soneji's behavior, the killings are coming faster and in greater numbers than ever before, and the madman seems to no longer care if he lives or dies.
Meanwhile, a brutal pattern-killer known only as Mr. Smith, who picks his victims apparently at random and vivisects them while they are still conscious, is cutting a bloody swath from Massachusetts to London, and his path is about to intersect with Cross's in the most bizarre manner imaginable...

The review of this Book prepared by Tracey Ray
This seems to be a continuation of characters from his earlier works. I've not read those yet. The main character, hero if you will, Alex Cross, is a very personable, very likeable man. You find yourself feeling for him, rooting for him, his family and friends.
