Alex Cross battles the most ruthless and powerful killer he has ever encountered - a predator known only as "the Wolf. "Alex Cross's first case since joining the FBI has his new colleagues stymied. Across the country, men and women are being kidnapped in broad daylight and then disappearing completely. These people are not being taken for ransom, Alex realizes. They are being bought and sold. And it looks as if a shadowy figure called the Wolf - a master criminal who has brought a new reign of terror to organize crime - is behind this business in which ordinary men and women are sold as slaves. Even as he admires the FBI's vast resources, Alex grows impatient with the Bureau's clumsiness and caution when it is time to move. A lone wolf himself, he has to go out on his own in order to track the Wolf and try to rescue some of the victims while they are still alive. As the case boils over, Alex is in hot water at home too. His ex-fiancee, Christine Johnson, comes back into his life - and not for the reasons Alex might have hoped.Describe Books During The Big Bad Wolf (Alex Cross #9)

I read this after I read London Bridges, which didn't really effect anything too much. I think I would have been more irritated if I read London Bridges after this because the characters acted clueless about the wolf the entire way through Bridges, yet they should have known who he was at that time. Anyway, the lack of any real detective work in these novels irritates me. Alex lets other people uncover things then goes after the bad guy and fails. Someone will turn up a piece of information,Alex is after the Russian Mafia in the form of The Wolf. He kidnaps people for sale as slaves. Alex is now working for the FBI but their gears are working to slowly for him. Being the lone wolf (no pun intended) that he is, he goes after The Wolf alone. He's also surprised by a visit from his ex-fiancee Christine Johnson, little Alex's mom. Alex is serious with Jamilla "Jam" Hughes now.
James Patterson gets a lot of bad press for his books, and I can see they have quite a few faults. Nevertheless I still enjoy them so much I am willing to overlook a lot!This was just so readable. Short chapters and lots of action always keeps those pages turning and I am pretty attached to Alex Cross and his family by now so that helps too. I lost track of how many people were supposed to be Wolf and then turned out not to be. In the end I gave up trying to follow all the intricacies and just
4.5★sAlex Cross had joined the FBI and was in his initial training period at Quantico (which he barely needed after the years as detective on the police force) when he was called into a high profile case. Attractive, young, blonde white women were being abducted some in broad daylight. When it came to light that there was a pattern involved, they knew they had a problem. Sexual slavery run by one of the top mobsters in the world a Russian nicknamed the Wolf was behind the whole terrible
"Untidiness" spoils otherwise great Alex Cross thriller!Patterson's latest is typical of his best work: furiously paced short chapters; an edgy plot that keeps the pages inexorably turning; and thrills and chills galore as the scary action rarely pauses for us to breathe. And for Alex Cross fans, it's good to have him back, even though this book marks the start of his FBI career, a start that wobbles a little bit. For good measure, some family stuff is worked in, especially a surprise visit
Soo, I read the book even though I didn't read 8 prequels. Still it was readable. I like how James writes, it's thrilling and exciting and you can't wait to read another chapter. This book was awesome, I'll try to get my hands on more Alex Cross.
Dear Mr. PattersonWhile this book was an easy read, I must say that it must have been easy to write because you have done this 19 or so times before. This book was predictable up until the end. I do not appreciate the ending hanging there so that people will buy the next book to find out what happens. Sorry but that ploy will not work with me. I will not buy the next book. This cheap ploy to get me to buy book number 20 will not work. It wasn't even that good. And talk about drama, seriously you
