Cross

Michel Sullivan is slowly hunting down the Mafia, getting his revenge. He had a hit called on him and feels betrayed. He is breaking all of the families rules, he is going after the Don himself. The Butcher is going after mob members who are close to the Don or important to the Mob. When he finally does catch the Don he feeds him to the fish and takes "art pictures." Sullivan is a very smart character he is aware of Cross and Sampson trying to catch him is is able to evade them and many other police officers. After killing the Don will the mafia leave him alone or will he be hunted more vigorously?

Cross

Alex Cross and John Sampson are hot on the Butchers tail. They have discovered who the Butcher is and that he has been involved in many serial rapes and murders. His signature being mutilating the bodies with a scalpel. Alex and John are both taking this case very personally because it is their belief that The Butcher was the man who killed Alex's wife 10 years earlier. The Butcher is a very slippery criminal, in a week he was in the polices hands twice and both times he escaped, mostly because the police were unaware of who he was.

Cross

What John to Alex would turn Alex's life upside down. John had heard from the mobster that he knew who and where the person was who killed Alex's wife 10 years ago. The case had never been closed and Alex had never really moved on. When Alex heard this he and John traveled immediately to the police station. once there it was obvious that something had happened. In his cell some home the mob boss had been killed. And ice pick had been stabbed into his eyes and into his head. This was a Mafia hit, see know evil was the message intended.

Cross

Can Alex ever escape his monsters? The day after he left the FBI he bought a car and spent time with his family. Everything seemed so pleasant and normal to him until John Sampson rang his doorbell at 3am. Nana Mama knew something was up and accused John of needing Alex's time. John's only response to her was that it was Alex who needed his help. John had just busted a local mob boss and had been interviewing him when he heard life changing news.

Cross by James Patterson

Alex Cross has officially resigned from the FBI. Once Nana Mama walked out threatening to never come back he realized the strain put on the family. He no longer wants to risk his life and the future of his children. Since he is their only remaining parent. What made him realize all of this was the gun shot that skimmed his temple, this also provoked Nana Mama to walk out on Alex and her Great Grandchildren. Will Alex be able to leave the FBI and escape the monsters?

Cross By James Patterson

So far in Cross by James Patterson we have been reintroduced to the FBI agent Alex Cross. We have also been introduced to the killer known as the Butcher, and his companion/partner known as his guardian. The Butcher kills people with knives and scalpels with lightening fast speed and precision. In one scene he chops of a guys nose and ear in under a second. The Butcher works for a known and feared mobster, he is a very well known and feared killer himself. He is not only feared by gangsters but also by the Police. I am unsure whether or not this is a flashback in time for the Butcher as well as Alex Cross. Scenes with Alex in them so far have been talking about the past, before his wife was murdered.

Hannibal

Clarice Starling is on the hunt again for the deadly and disturbed Hannibal Lecture. She was lucky to stay in the FBI after the shooting, where she killed a drug dealer holding a baby. There was a meeting that was likely to end her career as an FBI agent, when a mysterious phone call interrupts the meeting. After the call the meeting was adjourned, Starling knows there was somebody pulling the strings. The call cane from a Senator who was confronted by none other than Mason. Mason, being a powerful man, was told that if Clarice was fired Hannibal would likely disappear. He had been on the hunt for Hannibal ever since encountering him, he was therefore inclined to save Agent Starling's job.

Hannibal

So Mason was in fact a victim of Dr. Hannibal Lecture. Though he was not eaten by him, what Hannibal did maybe even worse than that. Mason was showing Hannibal his house when Hannibal offered him a pain killer. The drug that mason took was not a pain killer, it was in fact acid, PCP, and other drugs. Lecture then told Mason he should cut off his own face with a shard from the mirror and feed it to the dogs. Mason did so, he also had his neck broken by a noose. Way way messed up, I'm not going to elaborate on this scene to much or why there was a noose, just know that its sick. Check it out if u want more details.
