A series of kidnappings with no ransoms
perplexes Alex Cross and his fellow
FBI agents. Both men and women have been
kidnapped in places like shopping mall parking
lots and have later turned up dead. The victims
were all tortured before they died.
Apparently, they are being kidnapped by
a Mob-type network and given to psychopaths
who pay a high price to have them as slaves for
their own satisfaction. The monster believed
to be behind the kidnappings is a criminal
mastermind known as the Wolf, who is
ruthless beyond belief and has never been
photographed. Alex Cross must rise above
the fray of bureaucratic disputes and solve the puzzle of the Wolf before more innocents are tortured and killed.
The Big Bad Wolf is one of James Patterson's best novels. The story tells a tale of problems occurring in today's world: the rise of the Russian mafia and the kidnapping of college and suburban men and women for the pleasure of a psychotic buyer. The Wolf, a psychotic Russian mobster, is a crude and dangerous, yet fascinating character. And Alex Cross' battles with FBI bureau heads are interesting and believable. This is an exciting thriller from beginning to end that will stick with you long after you have finished reading. Reprinted with permission from The Internet Writing Journal®.
