From the man the Sunday Telegraph called the 'master of the suspense genre' comes the next high-velocity thriller in the Alex Cross series - James Patterson and Alex Cross fans cannot wait to read DOUBLE CROSS. Alex Cross rejoins the DC police force to confront two of the most diabolical killers he's ever encountered. Just when Alex's life is calming down, he is drawn back into the game to confront a criminal mastermind like no other. The elaborate murders that have stunned Washington, DC, are the wildest that Alex and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. This maniac adores an audience, and stages his killings as spectacles in public settings. Alex is pursuing a genius of terror who has the whole city on edge as it waits for his next move. And the killer loves the attention, no doubt - he even sets up his own website and live video feed to trumpet his madness. And in Colorado, another criminal mastermind is planning a triumphant return. From his supermaximum-security prison cell, Kyle Craig has plotted for years to have one chance at an impossible escape. If he has to join forces with DC's Audience Killer to get back at the man who put him in that cell - Alex Cross - all the better.

Walter Schoen isn't just a Heinrich Himmler look-alike; this Detroit butcher is a dedicated Nazi spy who, when not busy slicing sausage, is avidly assembling Allied production data for his friends in Berlin. Tired of his covert shenanigans, his wife, Honey, divorces him. Looking for a good time, if not more, she lands in the lap of Carl Webster, the "Hot Kid" of the U.S. Marshals Service. At the moment though, the only couplings that interest Webster are the handcuffs that he'd like to snap onto the wrists of Hitler's American helpers. Elmore Leonard's unconventional crime novel has more wrinkles than a bloodhound.

Als Sophie Graham het niet meer ziet zitten, noch met haar cafewerk noch met haar toneelambities, krijgt ze een interessant voorstel. Richard Jordan vraagt haar om zijn dochter Electra op te sporen, die al maandenlang verdwenen is. Sophie geeft zich uit als prive-detective en gaat op zoek naar de vrouw die ooit op kostschool haar aartsrivale was. Als onderdeel van haar zoektocht trekt Sophie maar zolang in in de flat van Electra, draagt haar kleren, gaat naar haar kapper enz. Wil ze Electra vinden omdat Electra's vader haar daarvoor dik betaalt, of heeft Sophie zo haar eigen motieven? Een ongewone plot, een kwade opeenvolging van dwaalsporen, pittige personages en een flinke scheut humor zorgen voor een flitsend New Yorks verhaal.
