Fear No Evil (Alex Cross, 27)

Fear No Evil is another exciting thriller from James Patterson starring Dr. Alex Cross, investigative consultant to Metro PD and the FBI. In this book, we find Alex caught in between two groups of dangerous men (and women). One is the cartel, although the leader of the cartel has been in prison for a while now with no communication to the outside world. Then there is a vigilante group who is killing CIA and FBI agents who have betrayed their country. Behind this group is someone known as “M”, or Maestro. No one seems to know exactly who “M” is, however. As Alex and his partner, John Sampson go to investigate how “M”‘s group and the cartel are related, they find themselves caught in the crossfire. Both groups decide that Alex and John are the enemies.

Just like all of the other Alex Cross books, this one is packed with action that makes it movie-worthy. A final battle set in the wild forests of Montana has all characters trying to dodge bullets, hide behind boulders, and stay away from the grizzlies. Recommended for fans of Patterson as well as Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. This book will have readers on the edge of their seats.
