Reviews
- From Publishers Weekly
- The 18th Alex Cross thriller (after 2010s Cross Fire) recycles the kidnapping story line from the African-American super detectives debut, Along Came a Spider. When the U.S. presidents children, 12-year-old Ethan and 14-year-old Zoe, elude their Secret Service detail by slipping out of a lecture hall window at their Washington, D.C., school, they end up the captives of a sadist, who sends the chief executive a note reading: There is no ransom. There are no demands. The price, Mr. President, is knowing that you will never see your children again. After some perfunctory turf battles, Cross, whos with the D.C. Metropolitan police, gets assigned to the case, but he takes much longer than most readers will to identify the abductor. A Muslim terrorist subplot to destabilize the federal government does little to redeem the tired main plot. Patterson neither sweats the details nor invests his lead with more than two dimensions. (Nov.) Copyright 2011 Reed Business Information.
