Jacket Flaps: Alex Cross is back in his 10th and most explosive adventure yet. In broad desert daylight, a mysterious platoon of soldiers evacuates the entire population of Sunrise Valley, Nevada. Minutes later, a hug bomb detonates 100' above the ground and lays waste to homes, cars, and playgrounds: a town annihilated in an instant.

And so is the Wolf. Alex Cross is on vacation in San Francisco with his girlfriend, Jamilla Hughes, when he gets the call. The Russian super criminal known as the Wolf claim responsibility for the blast. The Wolf is the deadliest nemesis Cross has ever faced, and the fact that he is still at large is agonizing for Cross and his new bosses at the FBI.

And so is the Weasel. Major cities around the globe, including London, Paris, and New York, are threatened with total destruction. The Wolf has proven he can do it -- the only question is, can anyone stop him in time? Surveillance film of the blast reveals the presence of another of Alex Cross's most dangerous enemies, the ruthless assassin known as the Weasel. The thought of these two dark geniuses joining forces makes Alex's blood run cold.

Now are you scared? World leaders have just 4 days to prevent an unimaginable cataclysm. In a matter of hours, Cross is catapulted into an international chase of astonishing danger. Joining forces with Scotland Yard and Interpol, Alex fights his way through a torrent of false leads, impersonators, and foreign agents before he gets close to the heart of the crimes. Racing down the hairpin turns of the Riviera in the most unforgettable finale James Patterson has ever written. Alex Cross confronts the truth of the Wolf's identity -- a revelation that even Cross himself may be unable to survive.

London Bridges is an unstoppable, explosive, and utterly shocking thriller that reveals once again why "Alex Cross is one of the great creations of thriller fiction."

My DH and I finished reading (listening to audio together) this book on 6/6 on our drive back to IL to get our DD. As always we find the Alex Cross series quite fascinating. DH is amazed at his "girl in every port" type of character. I'm really wondering where Patterson will go with this series now with the events which unfolding with the Weasel and the Wolf. I'm anxious to read "Mary, Mary" ... perhaps she's a new girl that he'll settle down with??? LOL
