Read this on holiday in New York so I was nearly in Washington DC where the novel is set. Another in the Alex Cross series by James Patterson. As ever with this series it is nice to know what is happening in his personal life and family as much as the action parts. The family seems relatively quiet at present but it was nice to catch up.
With regards the action, Alex Cross is called in to help find the two children of the US President as they have been kidnapped. He is personally invited by the President's wife to help but it is clear that there is someone who does not want Alex Cross on the case. He manages to get himself onto the inside track eventually.
We are also led into the terrfying world of terrorism as well, Cross and his colleagues also have to cope with this too.
Pretty good but the series is beginning to get a bit tired now, the book in some ways seems to be a parody of some of the earlier novels. However it is as well written as ever.
8/10 for me.

I've read all the Alex Cross series by J.P. This one is okay, but the not the best by far. The title led me to think it would be better, but I'll leave that to the rest of you to decide for yourselves. I must admit I have been enjoying the Detective Michael Bennett series better from J.P. somewhat more.
