The Big Bad Wolf (Alex Cross) Review
When Alex Cross first joins up with the FBI, he is assigned to a big case. One involving the kidnapping of men and women in broad daylight--who then disappear completely. The victims are being bought and sold, and the shadowy figure behind it all is a Russian predator dubbed The Wolf.
Every time the agents have a lead, they are stymied. They find and arrest several participants in this ring, but everywhere they turn, The Wolf eludes them. Each time they think they have finally identified him, they come up short.
Meanwhile, Alex's family life is taking a hit, too. His youngest son, Alex, given up by the mother, Christine Johnson, in his infancy, is now the subject of a new custody battle. It seems that Christine is pulling out all the stops and stating that Alex Cross is a lightning rod for danger, which puts his son at risk.
This is a very exciting tale, between the FBI pursuits, bureaucratic hijinks, and various near misses...while on the periphery, the shadow of the custody battle looms.
Until the very last page, I wasn't sure how this would end up, but I knew I had to keep reading. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed this particular Alex Cross adventure,The Big Bad Wolf (Alex Cross), it wasn't one of the best. Therefore, the four star rating.

The Big Bad Wolf (Alex Cross) Overview
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. And it looks as if a shadowy figure called the Wolf - a master criminal who has brought a new reign of terror to organize 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, Christine Johnson, comes back into his life - and not for the reasons Alex might have hoped.

The Big Bad Wolf - S. Dahl -
I am almost finished with BBW and have been complaining throughout about the lameness of this book. I have had people tell me for years to read James Patterson, they LOVE James Patterson. Picked this one up in a garage sale for about 50cents. (Glad I didn't spend any more on it.)I'm thinking I could write at least as well as this. After reading some of the other reviews, I'm glad it's not just me. The reviewers are saying what I'm thinking but am unable to put into words. I will continue since I at least have to find out how it ends.
Big Bad Wolf - John M. Mclean -
Excellent. You will not want to put the book down. It is amazing how James Patterson's characters evolve. You never know how it is going to turn out.
