Not my favorite Alex Cross book, but there were parts that were enjoyable, though it continued the frightening trend where people who were once involved with Cross are brutally murdered. It really doesn't pay to have this man in your life. I'm not sure I was a fan of Alex Cross as a world traveler. He is at his best close to home and protecting his own.
As if Alex Cross’s life couldn’t get more difficult just as he’s decided to start solving crimes again, a series of brutal murders, worse than anything he’s ever seen, becomes person and forces Alex Cross to sacrifice more than any other time.
Entire families are being killed, not only in the states but in other countries, and they all like to the Tiger, the more ruthless killer. Alex decides it’s his responsibility to travel across the world to try and catch the killer, but he appears to be the only one who really wants to be there. All authority wants Alex out of the country and going home, but not before he almost loses his life a half a dozen times.
Back home, Alex finds his worse nightmares are starting to come true and has to dig deep to find the truth behind the Tiger.

Quick read, just like his other books. I enjoyed it, but great literature it's not.
I love Alex Cross and this is one of the best that I've read. Love the short chapters, you read and read without realizing. Highly recommended for Cross lovers.
Interesting. I didn't care for this book, pretty much at all. I'm losing a lot of love for Alex Cross, and truth be told, Patterson in general. I still own a lot of books by him, and will continue to read through them. It's like eating plain M&Ms. There's really no fun in it, but it's there, and you might as well.
What I find interesting is the other reviews on GR. A lot of complaints about the over the top killings in this book. While I agree that the idea of Cross surviving the endless stupidity he goes through here is beyond far fetched, I think the reality of what actually goes on in Darfur is child's play in comparison to what's described here. Interesting that the people who read his books are so turned off reading about world events actually occurring.
Reinforces my belief that people are morons.
