Alex Cross
was "Patterson at the top of his game" (Washington Post). Alex
Cross, Run is even better.
DON'T LOOK, ALEX CROSS: Top plastic surgeon
Elijah Creem is renowned for his skills in the operating room, and for his
wild, no-expense-spared "industry parties," bringing in underage
exotic dancers and models for nights of drugs, champagne, and uninhibited sex.
That is, until Detective Alex Cross busts one of Creem's lavish soirees and
ruins his fun. Now Creem is willing to do anything to avoid going to jail.
DON'T THINK, ALEX CROSS But Alex doesn't have time to dwell on that case. A
beautiful woman has been found murdered in her car, a lock of her hair
viciously ripped off. Then a second woman is found hanging from a sixth-floor
window with a brutal scar slashed across her stomach. When a third mutilated
body is discovered, rumors of three serial killers on the loose send Washington
D.C. into an all-out frenzy.
JUST RUN Alex is under so much pressure to solve
these three grim cases that he hasn't noticed that someone else investigating him-someone
so obsessed and so twisted that they'll do anything-
ANYTHING- to get the
vengeance they require. Alex Cross, Run is James Patterson's most
unrelenting story yet-a white-hot, sensational thrill ride with the most
extreme and gripping characters Patterson has ever brought to life.

James PattersonIt's finally time! Detective Lindsay Boxer is in labor--while two killers are on the loose.
Lindsay Boxer's beautiful baby is born! But after only a week at home with her new daughter, Lindsay is forced to return to work to face two of the biggest cases of her career.
A rising star football player for the San Francisco 49ers is the prime suspect in a grisly murder. At the same time, Lindsay is confronted with the strangest story she's ever heard: An eccentric English professor has been having vivid nightmares about a violent murder and he's convinced is real. Lindsay doesn't believe him, but then a shooting is called in-and it fits the professor's description to the last detail.
Lindsay doesn't have much time to stop a terrifying future from unfolding. But all the crimes in the world seem like nothing when Lindsay is suddenly faced with the possibility of the most devastating loss of her life.
Delusion in Death #35

It
was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business
professionals unwound with a few drinks . . . until something went terribly
wrong. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay dead.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving
witnesses talk about seeing things - monsters and swarms of bees. They describe
sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics
gives its report, the mass delusions make more sense: It appears the bar
patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive
anyone to temporary insanity - if not kill them outright. But that doesn't
explain who would unleash such horror - or why. And if Eve can't figure it out
fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it's airborne. . . .
Calculated in Death #36
J D Robb
On
Manhattan's Upper East Side a woman lies dead at the bottom of the stairs,
stripped of all her valuables. Most cops might call it a mugging gone wrong,
but Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows better.
A well-off accountant and a beloved wife and mother, Marta Dickenson doesn't seem the type to be on anyone's hit list. But when Eve and her partner, Peabody, find blood inside the building, the lieutenant knows Marta's murder was the work of a killer who's trained, but not professional or smart enough to remove all the evidence.
But when someone steals the files out of Marta's office, Eve must immerse herself in her billionaire husband Roarke's world of big business to figure out who's cruel and callous enough to hire a hit on an innocent woman. And as the killer's violent streak begins to escalate, Eve knows she has to draw him out, even if it means using herself as bait. . . .
