Alex Cross must face the world's most dangerous agents, criminals, and
assassins. The fate of the world rests in his hands.
In broad desert daylight, a mysterious platoon of soldiers evacuates the
entire population of Sunrise Valley, Nevada. Minutes later, a huge bomb
detonates a hundred feet above the ground and lays waste to homes, cars,
and playgrounds: a town annihilated in an instant. The Russian
supercriminal known as the Wolf claims responsibility for the blast.
Alex Cross is on vacation in San Francisco with his girlfriend, Jamilla
Hughes, when he gets the call. World leaders have just four days to
prevent an unimaginable cataclysm. Racing down the hairpin turns of the
Riviera in the most unforgettable finale James Patterson has ever
written, he confronts the truth of the Wolf's identity, a revelation
that even Cross himself may be unable to survive.
