Alex Cross rejoins the DC police force to confront two of the most diabolical killers he's ever encountered. A PSYCHOTIC KILLER WHO CRAVES AN AUDIENCE: Just when Alex Cross's life is calming down, he is drawn back into the game to confront a criminal mastermind like no other. The elaborate murders that have stunned Washington, DC, are the wildest that Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. This maniac adores an audience, and stages his killings as spectacles in public settings. Alex is pursuing a genius of terror who has the whole city on edge as it waits for his next move. And the killer loves the attention, no doubt - he even sets up his own Web site and live video feed to trumpet his madness. AND A MURDERING MASTERMIND WHO WORKS ALONE: And in Colorado, another criminal mastermind is planning a triumphant return. From his super-maximum-security prison cell, Kyle Craig has plotted for years to have one chance at an impossible escape. If he has to join forces with DC's Audience Killer to get back at the man who put him in that cell - Alex Cross - all the better. BOTH ARE AFTER THE SAME DETECTIVE - ALEX CROSS. -- Provided by bookflap.
