reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


Looking to spend more time with his family, Alex Cross has left the D.C. police for the FBI, swapping his near-legend stature for the rank of rookie. Even so, his reputation precedes him. When the kidnapping of an exceptionally beautiful, well-heeled mother of three is followed by a similar abduction, Alex is moved to the top to work with Monnie Donnelley, a violent-crimes specialist who expects the worst. But neither Alex nor Monnie is prepared for the information brought to them by Lili Lynch, a 14-year old computer whiz who has broken into "The Wolf's Den." Lili "heard" men, awful men, chatting about their "acquisitions", purchased from a Russian known as The Wolf. While it's natural for young Lili to be shocked and terrified by what she's learned, Alex knows better; he's beaten too many monsters at their twisted games. But this time could be different. So far, no one who's been bitten by this Big Bad Wolf has lived to tell the tale.
