Product Description:
Two joggers are found murdered in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, and the killings are bizarrely reminiscent of a Washington, D.C. case that Alex Cross has been unable to solve. He is called to San Francisco, and then learns of similar murders in eight cities from Las Vegas to Charleston. Together with a female San Francisco detective, Cross plunges into a menacing world where posing explodes into bloodlust and frenzy, even as he is being stalked by a terrifying criminal who calls himself the Mastermind.
James Patterson is at his most shocking and suspenseful best in a novel that will stun and satisfy his vast audience.
Amazon.com Review:
Fans of James Patterson's resourceful cop Alex Cross will be relieved to find that he's back on familiar territory with Violets Are Blue--and, more importantly, that this is one of the best Alex Cross thrillers yet.
The malign criminal genius of Roses Are Red is fixing to give Alex a hard time once again. The FBI joins Patterson's dogged cop in a particularly unsettling investigation: two San Francisco joggers have been viciously murdered and are found suspended by their feet, with all the blood drained from their corpses. And when further brutal deaths follow in California and on the East Coast, Alex is forced to contemplate the bizarre possibility of modern-day vampires, although his instincts point him to one of the many sinister religious cults that flourish on the West Coast. Aided by Jamilla Hughes, a streetwise young woman detective from San Francisco, Alex finds that he has to crack not one but two impenetrable mysteries to stop further bloodletting.
Patterson fans expect the extremely concise, page-turning chapters (116 of them here!), along with a reluctance to dawdle over details of his hero's personal life, and both characteristics are firmly back in place. If you can resist reading this one in just a few sittings, you deserve some kind of a thriller reader's medal. --Barry Forshaw, Amazon.co.uk

The Alex Cross novel before this one, Roses Are Red (Alex Cross), ended on a major cliffhanger, and I had high expectations for the follow-up. Roses Are Red ended with the revelation of the identity of arch-criminal mastermind and with a final horrific crime that left long-time detective Cross shaken to the core and primed for vengeance. But unfortunately, this follow-up really isn't a direct sequel. It follows two separate storylines - one is the hunt for the still-at-large Mastermind (whose ... Read More

First let me begin by saying I listened to the audiobook version of this novel, as I have most every "Cross" novel. They provide an entertaining enough distraction from life. It included a "very special introduction" from the author. Wow! James Patterson actually taking some time to possibly give some insight into how he created the character, or what his writing process is, or...or just him patting himself on the back. Yes, this is indeed what he took two minutes out of his writing schedule for. He ... Read More

Truly Wonderful!
This is no exception to Patterson's great list of novels. He is outstanding, and this book is excellent. Couldn't put it down!! S.L. Chessor author of My Tongue Fell Out & Poodlums Boogeymen and Booglers.

I usually try to make it my business not to read any books relating to either werewolfs or vampires. As a matter of fact, I stopped reading Patricia Cornwall's Kay Scarpetta series for this exact reason....the werewolfs had invaded the pages. Since I like to read all of my series "in order", Violets Are Blue was the next one up at bat in the Alex Cross series. Little did I know that it would have the "dreaded" vampires as the main characters.
This book had two stories going on at the ... Read More

Vampires are not my cup of tea, however it didn't keep me from reading the book. I cannot believe that I kept turning the pages. There are two horrible murders in Washington. The bodies' blood was drained. California had some similar murders. Fearless Alex must look into secret clubs and the like. If this is not enough Mastermind a killer from the past is stalking Alex. What secret does he unfold? I would not read this one again. By Ruth Thompson author of "The Bluegrass Dream" and "Natchez Above The ... Read More
