Two children have been kidnapped from an elite Washington D.C. private school. Detective Alex Cross must find them.
The kidnapper's identity is quickly determined as the students' maths teacher, Gary Soneji, but capturing him is the true challenge.
Alex's pursuit of the sinister Soneji escalates, and it becomes increasingly clear that he's something far more dangerous. Alex discovers that the crime runs deeper and begins to uncover connections that no one could have anticipated.

Reviews

Terror and suspense that grab the reader and won't let go. Just try running away from this one.
ED MCBAIN, bestselling author of the 87th Precinct series
-
An incredibly suspenseful read with a one-of-a-kind villain who is as terrifying as he is intriguing. One of the best thrillers of the year.

Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it.

Brilliantly terrifying! So exciting that I had to stay up all night to finish it! Packed with white-knuckle twists.

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page ... Simply put: Nobody does it better.

James Patterson is The Boss. End of.

I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed.

Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative, so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that ... James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged.
