After reading Along Came a Spider I found out what it’s like to be inside the head of a detective and the criminal. The main character is Alex Cross he is a Washington, D.C. homicide investigator and forensic psychologist that is put on the case of two high value children. His skills are tested and strained as he looks for the criminal and to save the children. The book opens with and actual kidnaping that happened and then leads in to the introduction of Alex cross the protagonist of the story. Alex is a black detective for the Washington police department. He has two kids and lives with his mother at his house. Alex is called early in the morning to a crime scene of a murdered black family. He does not like going to scenes that early because he says “it’s going to be a bad day. After he gets all the evidence and he studies the body’s for a while be for he gets called to Washington day elementary school. Not too long before that you meet Mr. Soneji the antagonist of our little nightmare.  Soneji played as a teacher at the school and kidnapped two high value children and take them for the most horrifying adventure of their lives. Their names were Alex cross meets Jezzie Flannagan the head of the children's Secret Service. Alex and Jezzie risk life and limb to save the two small children. I love the book it gets your heart going and the adrenalin pumping. It’s a good mystery thriller for those who like the genre and decent sized books. The down side is that is starts a bit slow and has some slow parts but other than that it is a really good book.
