Mary, Mary

Alex Cross travels to Los Angeles to hunt for a killer more brutal and
ambitious than he's ever encountered-- a woman who has it in for
Hollywood's hottest players.
FBI agent Alex Cross is on
vacation with his family at Disneyland when he gets a call from the
Director. A well-known actress was shot outside her home in Beverly
Hills. Shortly afterward, an editor for the Los Angeles Times receives
an e-mail describing the murder in vivid detail. Alex quickly learns
that this is not an isolated incident. The killer, known as Mary Smith,
has done this before and plans to kill again.
Right from the
beginning, this case is like nothing Alex has ever confronted. Is this
the plan of an obsessed fan or a spurned actor, or is it part of
something much more frightening? And particularly baffling, how could a
woman be capable of these vicious crimes? Members of Hollywood's A-list
fear they're next on Mary's list, and the case grows by blockbuster
proportions as the LAPD and FBI scramble to find a pattern before Mary
can send one more chilling update. Filled with the ruthless and shocking
twists that make his fans hunger for more, MARY, MARY is James
Patterson's most sophisticated thrille
