LONDON BRIDGES Alex Cross Book 10

Alex Cross FBI agent is back in his most explosive and tense adventure. And so is the Wolf and so is the Weasel. Alex Cross is on holiday 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 in the most unforgettable finale, he confronts the truth of the Wolf's identity - a revelation that even Cross himself may be unable to survive. The Russian mafia boss known as the Wolf delivers an ultimatum - large cash payments will be made and various prisoners released, or he will set off nuclear explosions in London, New York, Paris and Tel Aviv. Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried and he has his killer communicating through cut-outs and expendable hirelings in his break-neck-paced thriller. 417pp, paperback with fairly large print.
