Publisher's summary

In broad desert daylight, a mysterious platoon of soldiers evacuates the entire population of Sunrise Valley, Nevada. Minutes later, a huge bomb detonates a hundred feet above the ground and lays waste to homes, cars, and playgrounds: a town annihilated in an instant.

Alex Cross is on vacation in San Francisco with his girlfriend, Jamilla Hughes, when he gets the call. The Russian supercriminal known as the Wolf claims responsibility for the blast.

Major cities around the globe are threatened with total destruction. The Wolf has proven he can do it; the only question is, can anyone stop him in time? Surveillance film of the blast reveals the presence of another of Alex Cross' most dangerous enemies, the ruthless assassin known as the Weasel.

World leaders have just four days to prevent an unimaginable cataclysm. Joining forces with Scotland Yard and Interpol, Alex fights his way through a torrent of false leads, impersonators, and foreign agents before he gets close to the heart of the crimes. Racing down the hairpin turns of the Riviera in the most unforgettable finale James Patterson has ever written, Alex Cross confronts the truth of the Wolf's identity, a revelation that even Cross himself may be unable to survive.

It is nice for Alex Cross to finally get the had guy. I had grown a little tired of the had guy always getting away.

Plot twist

Good book! I didn’t see that ending! However the music with the book is a little corny.

Missing something…

Overall I like the general idea of the story. I like to see Cross extending his time as a detective in another branch. To see him working with other agencies. That said can we give his love life a break? It feels so grossly unnecessary for details, it always just seems chaotic and messy. Also we need Samson back. The stories aren’t the same without him.

I was highly disappointed in the actual story end. I feel like Patterson got worse with some of these plot line gaps & endings. Some were well written and others not. The ending of the Wolf… pathetic. It was simplistic & boring compared to even the CIA director dying. It just felt like it needed more.

Also can someone turn the weird music off. It sometimes over powers the story.

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?

Relentless Alex Cross and a solid story. Recommend reading this one if you need a good story while you’re doing chores or driving.

Annoying when music takes over the reading

I don’t mind mild back ground supporting sounds but it’s Annoying when music takes over the reading

Great keep you going...get'em story!

Liked it right off the back. To me, it keeps me wondering, what this WOLF could arrange to do for a get-even scheme. Read and see for yourself.
