Detective Alex Cross must confront his most terrifying nemesis ever—and his own deepest fears—in this electrifying thriller from the world's #1 bestselling writer.

Alex Cross has investigated macabre crime scenes. But the gruesome murders of two joggers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park look like ritualistic killings that looks like the work of vampires, a solution local police and the FBI are quick to dismiss.

Cross takes the case, sweeping him from Washington, DC, to Savannah, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Los Angeles as he plunges into a netherworld of secret clubs, role-players, and poseurs. Evidence points to someone demented enough to have crossed the line from playacting to real blood. Someone like the merciless criminal known as the Mastermind, who’s been lurking on the fringes, stalking, taunting, and threatening Alex Cross and everything he holds dear.

“Particularly juicy…enjoyably spooky…bottom line: bloody good creepiest.” —People Crime Thrillers Police Procedurals Psychological Thriller & Suspense Crime Mystery Exciting Vampires Murder

The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.
