The Big Bad Wolf

The Big Bad Wolf by James Patterson Alex Cross battles the
most ruthless and powerful killer he has ever encountered
– a predator known only as the Wolf. Alex Crosss first
case since joining the FBI has his new colleagues stymied.
Across the country men and women are being kidnapped in
broad daylight and then disappearing completely. These
people are not being taken for ransom Alex realizes. They
are being bought and sold. And it looks as if a shadowy
figure called the Wolf – a master criminal who has brought
a new reign of terror to organize crime – is behind this
business in which ordinary men and women are sold as
slaves. Even as he admires the FBIs vast resources Alex
grows impatient with the Bureaus clumsiness and caution
when it is time to move. A lone wolf himself he has to go
out on his own in order to track the Wolf and try to
rescue some of the victims while they are still alive. As
the case boils over Alex is in hot water at home too. His
ex-fiancee Christine Johnson comes back into his life –
and not for the reasons Alex might have hoped.
