Kiss the girls - James Patterson

The worldwide No 1 bestseller from the author of Along Came a Spider and Jack and Jill - now a major film starring Morgan Freeman as Washington detective Alex Cross.

James Patterson first introduced his memorable hero - Alex Cross, the black homicide detective from Washington DC with a PhD in psychology - in the acclaimed Along Came a Spider. He made his triumphant return in Kiss the Girls - the phenomenal international No 1 bestseller which has now been made into a major Hollywood film by Paramount Pictures.

In Kiss the Girls, Cross is thrust into a case he will never forget. This time there isn't just one killer, there are two. One collects beautiful, intelligent women on college campuses on the east coast. The other is terrorising LA with a series of unspeakable murders. But the truly chilling news is that the two brilliant and elusive killers are communicating, cooperating, competing - and they have Alex Cross's niece.
