An Alex Cross Novel A murderer named Gary Soneji patiently waits in the basement of Alex Cross's home in Washington. He had come to kill Cross and his family. That's just the beginning of the greatest page-turner in years. Two mind-numbing killers - one operating up and down the East Coast of America, on in Europe - believe Cross is their only worthy opponent. They dare to ask the ultimate question: Is Alex Cross about to die? You won't put CAT & MOUSE down until the question is answered.

The world is changing: the government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now, kids are disappearing. For 15-year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside down when they are torn from their parents one night and slammed into a secret prison for no reason they can comprehend. The New Order, as it is known, is clearly trying to suppress Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Being a Normal Teenager. But while trapped in this totalitarian nightmare, Wisty and Whit discover they have incredible powers they'd never dreamed of. Can this newly minted witch and wizard master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents--and maybe the world?

In this volume, Jimmy Patterson (of the satirical 1980's folk band The Pheromones) meanders delightfully, ominously, frightfully, and hilariously through his life and times, touching down at specific moments in the nation’s history as well as his own, as seen from the back alleys, barrooms and his hidden sanctum in what he calls "The Capital of the Empire," Washington, DC.
