Cherelle (Australia) (2007/10/01): Had to read this book as the previous 'Big Bad Wolf' ended in such a way that you did not know how the story ended without buying this one. I didn't think there was a need to read the first though.
Alex Cross is on vacation when he gets the call. A town in Nevada has been annihilated and the Russian super criminal known as the Wolf is claiming responsibility. Major cities around the globe are threatened with total destruction and the thought of such dark genius at work makes Alex's blood run cold. Cross is catapulted into an international chase of astonishing danger. Arriving in London, he fights his way through a torrent of false leads, impersonators and foreign agents. Then, Cross confronts the truth of the Wolf's identity - a revelation that even Cross himself may be unable to survive.
