Along Came a Spider - James Patterson

This is one of the best novels I have ever read, i just couldnt put it down. The film doesnt do it justice, this will have you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last. The Alex Cross series is fantastic, he is a Black Washington Police officer and in Along Come a Spider two rich children are kidnapped under the nose of secret service agents and Alex Cross is on the case, but it appears that Gary Soneji has commited the perfect crime. I never knew what was going to happen next reading this, and really didnt know what was going to happen in the end until the last page. This book is a must read for all Thriller ...
