The Big Bad Wolf
Trade cloth edition in good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Full number line starting with 1. Fine reading copy. Mylar cover included. Alex Cross series #9.
“I knew from my hurried reading of the case notes that there were more than 220 women currently listed as missing in the United states and that at least seven of the disappearances had been linked by the Bureau to ‘white slave rings.’”
Alex Cross battles the most ruthless and powerful killer he has ever encountered—a predator known only as “the Wolf.” Alex Cross’s first case since joining the FBI has his new colleagues stymied. Across the country, men and women are being kidnapped in broad daylight and then disappearing completely. These people are not being taken for ransom, Alex realizes. They are being bought and sold. It looks as if a shadowy figure called the Wolf—a master criminal who has brought a new reign of terror to organized crime—is behind this business in which ordinary men and women are sold as slaves. Even as he admires the FBI’s vast resources, Alex grows impatient with the Bureau’s clumsiness and caution when it is time to move. A lone wolf himself, he has to go out on his own in order to track the Wolf and try to rescue some of the victims while they are still alive. As the case boils over, Alex is in hot water at home too. His ex-fiancee comes back into his life—and not for the reasons Alex might have hoped.
