“As a James Patterson fan for many years, it's hard not to pick up another Alex Cross novel to see what could possibly happen next. Great international story.”

“Very heavy and disturbing material that is based on reality in African countries that use children for evil purposes. As usual from Patterson, great story and hard to put down, but depressing at the same time.”

As breathetaking as the plot was- even to the last page- the background was incredible!!! Much of the book takes place in Africa in areas of civil unrest and cruelty. The senseless violence was truely upsetting. NOW I finally get why there is such a political storm about that area. This book was written in 2007 and I believe that not too much has changed even now. I am almost speechless. GREAT BOOK!!!”

“This is tough stuff - so much violence, death, destruction - but Alex manages to survive it all, and his family is still intact, miraculously. I'm glad the Tiger died!”

“Detective Alex Cross is back in this extremely fast-paced story. Alex is called to a horrific murder scene; the entire family has been killed and mutilated. When Alex views the bodies he realizes he knows the mother from an early college romance. This is just the first of the murders in the DC area attributed to a shadowy figure known only as the Tiger and his gang of what seem to be very young teen and pre-teen boys. The trail of the Tiger leads to Africa and Alex is quickly on his way to Nigeria, Lagos and Sierra Leone.

At times while reading the book I felt that it was just a little too over the top (especially Alex' treatment in Africa) but on the whole it was a good read with maybe a hint at the next Cross book on the last page.”“14th book of Alex Cross Series”

“It's getting 3 stars because I love Alex Cross, but it was unbelievable that an American detective would expect to find the same policies in an African country as in the US. I kept yelling "Go home Alex!!!"”
