D.C. Detective Alex Cross has seen a lot of crime scenes. But even he is appalled by the gruesome murders of two joggers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park - killings that look more like the work of savage beasts than humans. Local police are horrified and even the FBI is baffled. Then, as Cross is called in to take on the case, the carnage takes off, leaving a trail of bodies across America and sweeping him to Savannah, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Los Angeles . . as his nemesis, the merciless criminal known as the Mastermind, stalks him, taunts him, and once again, threatens everything he holds dear...
Vampires. That is a new one. Every time I read about vampires it is all sexy. This is not those kinds of vampires. These are humans pretending and going on a killing spree. Alex Cross is once again called in to who is behind these sprees and boy I bet he never once thought of what he was going to have to kill when he is faced with it.
With that going on he is still dealing with the Mastermind and when all that comes to a head we see just why the Mastermind picked Alex. We see Alex deal with figuring out the spree and how to balance his home life. It seems he is eventually going to have to pick which one is important because it is truly coming to a head. Now, once we get to the end I do wonder what else is in store for Alex.
