So why was she parked in a Bentley convertible idling behind a DC private school, in the middle of the night, with the man who was the head of that school? Who shot them both, point blank, and why? The shocking double homicide is blazed across the internet, TV, newspapers—and across Alex Cross's mind. Kay had been his patient once. And maybe more. While John Sampson of DC Metro Police investigates the last movements of Christopher Randall, the educator killed along with Kay Willingham, detective Alex Cross and FBI special agent Ned Mahoney find unanswered questions from Willingham's past, before she arrived in DC and became known in DC society as someone who could make things happen. They travel to Alabama to investigate Kay's early years. There they find a world of trouble, corruption, and secrets, all of them closed to outsiders like Cross and Mahoney.

Jack & Jill (Alex Cross #3)
»James Patterson är Mästaren. Punkt.« | Ian Rankin »James Patterson har en kuslig förmåga att skapa levande, realistiska karaktärer och perfekta intriger i blixtrande tempo. För att uttrycka det enkelt: Ingen gör det bättre.« | Jeffery Deaver En kontroversiell senator hittas mördad i sin säng i Georgetown. På andra sidan stan hittas en liten flicka död, brutalt misshandlad. Alex Cross kallas in för att söka en eventuell koppling mellan de två morden. Och samtidigt slår mördaren till igen. Ingen i Washington går säker - inte barn, inte politiker, inte ens USA:s president... Cross har en rad imponerande förmågor, och han har dessutom det mod som krävs. Men ska han kunna få fram sanningen innan det är för sent? Detta är den 3:e fristående boken om Alex Cross - en av världens mest populära kriminalromanserier. JAMES PATTERSON har haft fler New York Times-bästsäljare än någon annan författare genom tiderna, vilket har gett honom en plats i Guinness Rekordbok. Sedan han för sin första roman tilldelades Edgar-priset 1977, har hans böcker sålt i mer än 300 miljoner exemplar. Alex Cross-böckerna hör till de senaste 25 årens mest populära kriminalromanserier.
