But that wasn’t their first meeting …

Police discover that Soneji kept a murder book, Profiles in Homicidal Genius, detailing his transformation from substitute teacher to hardened serial killer—including clues that imply missteps that Alex Cross may have made as a rookie homicide detective.

Now, Alex must retrace the steps of that long-ago investigation and face … the Return of the Spider.
