Alex Cross has left the police and FBI to run his private practice, but is dating Brianna, who works for the Washington PD. And he's with her when she she's called in on a new case.
A woman has been brutally murdered in front of hundreds of people for no apparent reason other then publicity.
Only a few days later, the killer strikes again, this time literally on stage. Unable to stop himself and because the killer directs a message at him, Alex asks and is allowed to be part of the investigating team.
Then Alex' arch-enemy, Kyle Craig escapes from his high security prison, and now two psychopathic killers are targeting Alex. Killers between whom there may well be a connection.
As always a fast and furious read, but it did leave me questioning Alex' expertise as a psychologist and profiler. He was being played and completely missed it.
