"Brilliantly terrifying! So exciting that I had to stay up all night to finish it! Packed with white-knuckle twists. * DAILY MAIL * 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. 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. Terror and suspense that grab the reader and won't let go. Just try running away from this one. [Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. -- DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD"
