Alex Cross Series: Roses are Red (Book 6)

If there really were human superheroes, Alex Cross would be at the head of the class... and with each instalment in the series, Patterson makes sure his hero stays there.

In this gripping sixth installment of the worldwide bestselling series, James Patterson delivers a high-stakes thriller that pits Alex Cross against a criminal mastermind known only as "The Mastermind." A series of bank robberies is sweeping the country, executed with such cold, calculated precision that they leave the FBI and local police baffled. The perpetrator doesn't just want the money—he demands absolute control and orchestrates the crimes with a terrifying lethal streak.

As Alex Cross balances the pressures of his personal life and his work as a detective and psychologist, he is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse. The Mastermind is always one step ahead, watching Alex’s every move and threatening those he loves most. With the body count rising and the clock ticking, Cross must use every ounce of his brilliance to unmask a killer who seems to know his own mind better than he does
