内容简介
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 like a shadowy figure known as
the Wolf — a master criminal who has brought a new reign of terror
to organized crime — is behind this business in which ordinary men
and women are sold as slaves.

all time".[citation needed] James Patterson has also been put as
