I haven't listened to this audio book - it was given to me and I have too short a commute to listen in the car which is where I usually listen to CD's. The back reads as follows:
A brillian criminal known only as the Mastermind orchestrates a series of bank robberies that are notable for their very precise demands - and their explosive violence when the demands are not met exactly. Detective Alex Cross takes on the case and recognizes that a particular kind of criminal mind is at work. But before he gets near identifying a suspect, the Mastermind pulls off the most outrageous kidnapping scheme in US history - and walks away witht he largest ransom ever paid.
But, the money is not enough. Alex Cross's investigation has gotten under the Mastermind's skin, and he makes it his personal goal to take revenge on Cross's entire team, one person at a time - before coming after Cross himself.
Amidst all this, Cross's relationship with his girlfriend Christine is falling apart because of her fears about his work, and his beloved daughter Jannie is hospitalized with unexplained seizures. The pressure rises on every front, utnil an explosive, shocking climax in which the Mastermind escalates his crimes to an unprecendented leve, and Alex Cross risks everything to stop him in time.
Read by Keith Davide and Jason Culp. This CD also includes a preview for Patterson's audiobook 1st to Die.
