This is an Alex Cross novel in which a Mastermind wrecks havoc in the banking industry and successfully steals and retains 15 million dollars. In the final chapter, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation and Alex;s new love interest, comes up against the Mastermind. Of course, this is a to be continued in Violets Are Blue. I thoroughly enjoy Patterson's style of writing-the short chapters that compel the reader to complete one more chapter before stopping. The suspense builds with each chapter, and I must admit that if you are alone, you will start imagining that the killer is after you.
