Just when Alex thought his life was calming down into a routine of patients and therapy sessions, he finds himself back in the game--this time to catch a criminal mastermind like no other. A spate of elaborate murders in Washington D.C. have the whole East Coast on edge. They are like nothing Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. With each murder, the case becomes increasingly complex. There's only one thing Alex knows: the killer adores an audience. As victims are made into gruesome spectacles citywide, inducing a media hysteria, it becomes clear to Alex that the man he's after is a genius of terror--and he's after fame. The killer has the whole city by its strings--and he'll stop at nothing to become the most terrifying star that Washington D.C. has ever seen.

About the Author:

James Patterson's most recent major bestseller is JUDGE AND JURY. He is one of the world's most popular and successful authors and lives in Florida.

From AudioFile:

Patterson offers the thirteenth in the mega-chiller escapades of former FBI Profiler Dr. Alex Cross, who is now in private psychiatric practice in Washington, D.C. This time Cross and his new girlfriend, Homicide Detective Brianna Stone, are stalking and being stalked by two grotesque serial killers, DCAK (�Audience Killer�), who wants his crimes staged and viewed by the public, and �the Mastermind,� a former FBI friend of Cross who has escaped from a maximum security prison. Cross is at the top of their hit lists. Peter J. Fernandez and Michael Stuhlbarg deftly manage the multiple characters in this thriller, carrying the listener through the various, and often confusing, layers, sliding over the plot holes and inconsistencies, and galloping to a breathtaking climax.
