James Patterson is at his suspenseful best in Violets are Blue--guaranteed to stun and satisfy every Alex Cross fan.
Vampires in Golden Gate Park? Detective Alex Cross doesn't believe it when he first hears about it. Then two joggers are found slain in a way that reminds him of an eerie unsolved case in D.C. and he begins to reconsider. Learning of similar murders in 8 other cities across the country, Cross quickly jumps at the chance to sink his teeth into the grisly investigation. Together with beautiful FBI agent Jamilla Hughes, he plunges into a menacing world of secret clubs and bizarre role-players, where people sometimes cross the line--from dark ritual to real blood.
Meanwhile the brilliant and terrifying criminal known as the Mastermind has returned--and he's more determined then ever to get revenge. Stalking, taunting and threatening everything--and everyone--Alex holds dear, Mastermind is close to breaking the senior detective. Until the time comes for a deadly confrontation--and Cross discovers at last the awful secret of his most relentless nemesis.

I am a picky reader and have loved most Patterson novels. This one continued to deliver, good suspense and plot twists, however a bit more predictable than prior novels.

Normally I'm not into the super natural stuff, however, this was very good and was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I finished it in only 1 day. Definately recommend it!
