Cat & Mouse - James Patterson

Product Description(Amazon.com)
Alex Cross is back-and so is a raging and suicidal Gary Soneji. Out of prison and dying from the AIDS virus he contracted there, he will get revenge on Cross before he dies. In addition, we are introduced to a new pair of rivals whose paths cross that of Alex and Soneji. Thomas Augustine Pierce has been chasing his demon, Mr. Smith, since the savage murder of his fiancee. Mr. Smith is a unique monster, with actions toward his victims so insane-so unimaginable-that he is thought of as "not of the earth." Pierce, known in the business as St. Augustine because of his track record for catching killers and his invaluable status to the FBI and Interpol, may even be better than Cross.When things heat up and Alex is in a near-death coma following an attack in his own home, Pierce goes to Washington to help with the investigation. But just as he begins to piece together the mystery of how Gary Soneji could have mortally wounded Cross after he was believed to be dead, he is summoned to Paris with a postcard from Mr. Smith inviting him to a very special killing.The body count is high, the tension the highest, and the two killers on the loose are watching every move their pursuers make. Who is the cat, and who is the mouse? What and where is the final trap? And who survives?

MY THOUGHTS:  This is book 4 of the Alex Cross series.  This one was really good.  An old "friend" comes calling for Alex this time, Gary Soneji.  He has broke out of prison and out for revenge.  He wants to kill Alex and his whole family.  But Alex can't figure out what he's up to.  What is his plan?  Soneji seems to not have a plan, but does he.  Alex has to figure it all out.  The new person that Alex is after is even better than Soneji and he wants to get caught.  But Alex is having trouble trying to figure out what the heck Mr. Smith's plan is also.  He seems to be killing people randomly.  Does Alex solve both of these cases?  You will have to read the book to find out.

This book is also for my Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge.
