Return of the Spider — James Patterson

Return of the Spider is the stunning companion to Along Came a Spider.

The suspense classic Along Came a Spider introduced an unsurpassed rivalry: 
Detective Alex Cross; the “human superhero” (New York Times) versus Gary Soneji; the "most deliciously wicked character since Hannibal Lecter” (Lexington Herald-Leader). 
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 a rookie homicide detective.    
Now, Alex must retrace the steps of that long-ago investigation and face…the Return of the Spider.

Enter the world of the #1 bestselling detective series behind the #1 streaming show Cross.
