| Cross has at last decided to leave Metro DC Homicide and join the
FBI. Which is not surprising, as they have wanted him to join for quite
sometime, especially since he has been helping them on some of their
toughest cases. However, before he has managed to finish his training
the FBI soon take him away and put him on an peculiar case where
affluent women and men are being abducted and sold to people who have
chosen and paid a high price for them. The disappearances are in fact
part of a sexual slavery operation run by a mysterious former KGB
operative, now a top mobster known to all as "Wolf". Wolf is
fulfilling the repulsive plans of members of an encrypted computer chat
room who are willing to pay him a fortune to steal people who match
their dreams. On top of this Cross has some domestic woes to sort out as
well. His ex-girlfriend, the mother of Alex Jr has decided that his job
with the FBI is too dangerous and is suing for custody. This is an added
distraction that he can do with out as he tries to concentrate on
tracking down the elusive Wolf. The Big Bad Wolf is a novel of plot
twists and high tension and is as usual the page-turner that one has
come to expect from this series. A mixture of intrigue, hard action and
anguish, this novel grips the reader right from the start. The Big Bad
Wolf is a welcome addition to the Alex Cross series, in fact this is one
of the best in the series for a long time.
