Alex Cross series ; 33 "Meet Alex Cross as a rookie cop in Return of the Spider, 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"-- Dust jacket flap. 20251208. Cross, Alex (Fictitious character) Fiction.
