内容简介高产作家James Patterson的Cross系列又出新著Double Cross,这一次我们的主角Alex Cross将直面华盛顿两大杀人狂。
离奇命案震惊华盛顿,即使是Alex Cross和他的新欢
Brianna Stone侦探都对此闻所未闻。对于自己的行为成为城市的焦点,凶手非但豪不在乎还对此乐此不疲。
同时,另一个杀人魔王Kyle Craig竟然离奇的从科罗拉多戒备森严的监狱里越狱而出,立誓要找Alex Cross报仇。如果,这两个家伙合伙,华盛顿将面临空前绝后的危机....
Just when Alex thought his life was calming down into a routine of patients and therapy sessions, he finds himself back in the game--this time to catch a criminal mastermind like no other.
A spate of elaborate murders in Washington D.C. have the whole East Coast on edge. They are like nothing Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. With each murder, the case becomes increasingly complex. There's only one thing Alex knows: the killer adores an audience.
As victims are made into gruesome spectacles citywide, inducing a media hysteria, it becomes clear to Alex that the man he's after is a genius of terror--and he's after fame. The killer has the whole city by its strings--and he'll stop at nothing to become the most terrifying star that Washington D.C. has ever seen.
作者简介James Patterson is one of the world's most popular and successful authors and lives in Florida.
编辑推荐From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Patterson's 13th Alex Cross thriller (after 2006's Cross) pits the legendary profiler, now retired from law enforcement and working as a psychiatrist in private practice, against two serial killers. Kyle Craig, Cross's former colleague in the FBI (who was revealed to be the Mastermind, a particularly vicious and resourceful murderer, in 2001's Violets Are Blue), has managed to escape from a Colorado maximum-security prison and is steadily working his way through his list of those he holds responsible for his capture and incarceration. Cross, who heads the list, is drawn back into police work by his love interest, Maryland homicide detective Brianna Stone, who's been assigned to the task force focusing on the D.C. Audience Killer (or DCAK), who stages high-profile and sadistic murders to get the most public attention possible. Even newcomers will find themselves turning the pages to see how everything turns out, but significant plot holes and implausibilities make this a far cry from the similar, but far more suspenseful, two-front war waged by Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs.
