Jack and Jill are out to get the rich and famous, and they will stop at nothing until their fiendish plan is carried out.

Meanwhile, Washington, D. C., homicide detective Alex Cross is called to a murder scene only blocks from his house, far from the corridors of power where he spends his days.

Detective Alex Cross must confront his most terrifying nemesis ever - and his own deepest fears - in this electrifying new thriller from the master of suspense, James Patterson.

Alex Cross has never believed in vampires.  But when two joggers are found slain in a manner that suggests a macabre ritual, he has to reconsider.  Someone believes in vampires enough to have committed a series of bizarre murders that appear to be the work of one.  Local police are horrified, and even the FBI is baffled.

Cross takes on the case and plunges into a netherworld of secret clubs and role-players, a world full of poseurs and playactors - and someone demented enough to have crossed the line from dark ritual to real blood.  At the same time, a lethal super-criminal from Cross's past known as the Mastermind is stalking him, taunting him, and threatening everything he holds dear.  Cross has never been closer to defeat, or in greater danger.  In a shocking conclusion, Alex Cross must survive a deadly confrontation - only to discover at last the awful secret of the Mastermind.

Alex Cross returns in the most harrowing case of his career - one that risks the life of his closest friend and partner, John Sampson.

Detective Alex Cross is on his way to resign from the Washington, D.C., Police Force when his partner shows up at his door with a case he can't refuse.  One of John Sampson's oldest friends, from their days together in Vietnam, has been arrested for murder.  Worse yet, he is subject to the iron hand of the United States Army.  The evidence against him is strong enough to send him to the gas chamber.
Sampson is certain his friend has been framed, and Alex's investigation turns up evidence overlooked - or concealed - by the military authorities.  Drawing on their years of street training and an almost telepathic mutual trust, Cross and Sampson go deep behind military lines to confront the most ruthless - and deadliest - killers they have ever encountered.  Behind these three highly skilled killing machines there appears to be an even more threatening controller.  Discovering the identity of this lethal genius will prove to be Cross's most terrifying challenge ever.

On his visits home, Alex must confront another, more disturbing mystery:  what's the matter with Nana Mama?  As he explores the possibility of a relationship with a woman who offers him new hope, Alex must also face the fact that his beloved grandmother is only human.

WHO'S AFRAID?

Alex Bross battles the most ruthless and powerful killer he has ever encountered - a predator known only as as the Wolf.

Alex Cross's first case since joining the FBI has his new colleagues stymied.  Across the country, men and women are being kidnapped in broad daylight and then disappearing completely.  These people are not being taken for ransom, Alex realizes.  They are being bought and sold.  And it looks as if a shadowy figure called the Wolf - a master criminal who has brought a new reign of terror to organized crime - is behind this business in which ordinary men and women are sold as slaves.

YOU'RE AFRAID

Even as he admires the FBI's vast resources, Alex grows impatient with the Bureau's clumsiness and caution when it is time to move.  A lone wolf himself, he has to go out on his own in order to track the Wolf and try to rescue some of the victims while they are still alive.

As the case boils over, Alex is in hot water at home too.  His ex-fiancée, Christine Johnson, comes back into his life - and not for the reasons Alex might have hoped.

Full of the unexpected twists and heartrending surprises that James Patterson delivers better than any other suspense writer alive, The Big Bad Wolf is an unforgettable thriller from "one of America's most influential authors" (New York Times).
