Sinossi
Alex Cross è alle prese con uno spietato serial killer: Geoffrey Shafer. Egli, addetto all'ambasciata inglese di Washington ed ex agente dei servizi segreti, conduce una vita apparentemente esemplare, ma, in realtà, è divorato da un'unica "passione": uccidere giovani prostitute di colore. I suoi delitti, però, non sono casuali, ma seguono uno schema ben preciso dettato nel corso di un esclusivo gioco virtuale denominato "I Quattro Cavalieri", al quale partecipano, appunto, quattro spietati "messaggeri dell'Apocalisse". Proprio quando sta per cadere nella trappola tesagli dall'investigatore, Shafer alza la posta in gioco e rapisce Christine, la compagna di Alex Cross.

It was still interesting thou Leggi tutto
SPOILERS AHEAD I would say the story was entertaining and also ridiculous. We know straight at the start that Geoffrey Shafer a British Embassy official has become insane. Apparently a common occurrence amongst British diplomats. He plays a game called the Four Horsemen and he is Death. Surprise, Sur Leggi tutto
I started reading this series during The Great American Read. I was familiar with James Patterson, mostly because his name is splashed all over so many books as author, co-author, or whatever you want to call his publication style, but I had never actually read one of his books. I discovered quickly Leggi tutto
It had an exciting plot and was Interesting to some extent but being the forth book in a series, it fell flat for me. The Killer was interesting and some parts of the book held my attention but my constant checking of how many pages I have left made me question if I am really invested in the story.. Leggi tutto
