DESCRIPTION:
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. Soneji/Murphy is eventually captured--but can the bad part of him be proven guilty? There is even a hint at the end that he may survive for a sequel, though the reader has virtually forgotten him by then. Alex is soon on the case, more enraged by Gary's killing of poor ghetto blacks than by the Lindbergh-inspired kidnapping, and becomes involved with a gorgeous, motorcycle-riding Secret Service supervisor who is not what she seems. Come back, Thomas Harris! 150,000 first printing; Literary Guild main selection. Unfortunately, the novel has few merits of its own to set against those authors' works. From Publishers Weekly Thi
And that's only the beginning! Gary Soneji is a murderous serial kidnapper who wants to commit the crime of the century. Jezzie Flanagan is the female supervisor of the Secret Service who completes one of the most unusual suspense triangles in any thriller you have ever read.. Alex Cross is the brilliant homicide detective pitted against him. Along Came a Spider begins with the double kidnapping of the daughter of a famous Hollywood actress and the young son of the secretary of the Treasury
Patto said Appealing detective goes after repulsive psychopath. Alex Cross is a very attractive cop. Not only is he a clever detective, he's a good psychologist. He’s black, and continues to live in a depressed black neighborhood in DC, even though he could move away if he wished. He volunteers at a soup kitchen in his neighborhood. He's devoted to his two kids, his grandmother, and the memory of his dead wife. He's in great shape and good lookingAlex will go through a lot of turmoil in this book, and he always has our sympathy.Even the psychopath he's hunting finds something attractive about Alex. Alex is the one he most enjoys playing mind games with, . Alex Cross #1 Along Came a Spider I found that James Patterson's #1 book "Along Came a Spider" is a very interesting read. It it not too often that I can find a psychological mystery to be this exceptional. The Gary Soneji/Murphy out smarting the police with being a psychopath, potential Multiple personality disorder/ personality fatigue, and being the actor with having homicidal "1 year/5 year/lifetime plans" to be famous like he feels he should be is very interesting. From what I heard (without reading any other Alex cross books), this book will set up for some storylines in the next few books allowing for some interesting story. Two thumbs up!!! I have read all of the Alex Cross books except for two,well now one. The reason I waited so long was because the first two were movies I have seen both movies and enjoyed them! I figured the books would be the same as the movies I thought WRONG "Along Came a Spider" was completely different than the movie with minimal similarities! The book was excellent, wish I never waited to read it!!! Can't wait to read "Kiss The Girls!"
