But Gary Soneji is not surprised at his skill. He's done it before. Hundreds of times before.Alex Cross must face the ultimate test as a psychologist: how do you outmaneuver a brilliant psychopath? Especially one who appears to have a split personality-one who won't let the other half remember those horrific acts?Soneji has outsmarted the FBI, the Secret Service, and the police. Who will be his next victim?

Add a CommentGood book, entertaining, lots of unexpected twists in the plot
Haven't read too many of James Patterson books but do like the character Alex Cross...and will read more that have him in....
First of the Alex Cross series, but not the first one a read. Double Cross was much better for reasons I will keep tomyself.
I love James Patterson! His books are so easy to read and they go by quickly with the short chapters...they are easy to follow and intrigueing.
I suppose I had to get around to reading a Patterson/Alex Cross mystery sooner or later. So, I started at the beginning. The story was okay and a bit captivating, but the language was filthy, and I had a few other issues with it. It took some interesting turns along the way as all good mysteries must. So, this was my first and last Patterson.
great book!
One of, if not the best, book I have ever read!
Gr8 book would recomend
