The Big Bad Wolf

The most vicious and formidable murderer Alex Cross has ever faced fights him; this predator is only known as "the Wolf."Alex Cross's first case as an FBI agent puts his new coworkers at a standstill. Men and women are being abducted in broad daylight around the nation and then going missing entirely. Alex knows that these folks are not being held for ransom. They are traded and purchased. And it seems that the organization behind this enterprise, which sells regular men and women as slaves, is a mysterious character known only as the Wolf, a master criminal who has introduced a new dread to the world of organized crime. While appreciating the FBI's enormous resources, Alex becomes frustrated by the Bureau's clumsiness and caution when things need to be done. Being a solitary wolf himself, he must go out on his own to find the Wolf and attempt to save any of the victims who are still alive. Alex finds himself in hot water at home as well, as the situation heats up. Christine Johnson, his former fiancée, reappears in his life, but not for the reasons Alex had anticipated.
