The second installment if the Alex Cross series. Detective Cross's niece Naomi has went missing which is not like Naomi at all. Alex and Sampson decided to head down to North Carolina where Naomi was studying Law at. Alex knew something was wrong as the police only just got in contact with them to say she has been missing for FOUR days!

Alex finds out she's a a victim of a guy who calls himself "Casanova". He takes him victims and keeps them with him to "love him", but sometimes they "disobey" him and "break the rules" so they get killed for this. Casanova has lots of girls with him, all in separate rooms.

Casanova also has been stalking other victims and takes another called Kate but she's lucky and after a while escapes and manages to be saved. After she wakes up in hospital she helps Alex with his investigation. The investigation sends Alex to realise there are two separate killers Casanova and The Gentleman Caller the two have been friends since college times and they have come together to become one big monster.

After weeks of taunting and false leads Alex tracks down the missing girls with his partner Sampson and together they rescue the girls but only get one of killers. Casanova is still on the loose and Alex tries to piece together what he knows and how he can try to find him. Alex has an idea who it may be but then figures it's not who he thinks. Later Casanova comes after him and Kate, one because Kate got away and two because Alex killed his best friend "The Gentleman Caller". Casanova decides to not hide who he is and all hell breaks loose. Alex couldn't believe his eyes when he seen him, he knew how he got away with it for so long but now he wouldn't get away with it anymore.

I loved this book so so much. The storyz the writing and the flow of the book is fantastic. Lots of twists and turns and an amazing plot. I highly recommend this brilliant thriller.

similar to an older version of “Pretty Girls” but written from a males perspective so a little different. Also disturbing.
