In Violets Are Blue by James Patterson, detective Alex Cross is pulled in to solve a case of two joggers found dead which strongly reminds me of an unsolved case that kept bugging him all this time. But the more he investigates, the more he realizes that the number of victims is much higher than anyone could have imagined. And what’s worse, an uncaught killer is now after him and the female detective he is working right now with. Can they solve the cases before their lives becomes seriously endangered?

Two joggers are found murdered in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, and the killings are bizarrely reminiscent of a Washington, D.C. case that Alex Cross has been unable to solve. He is called to San Francisco, and then learns of similar murders in eight cities from Las Vegas to Charleston. Together with a female San Francisco detective, Cross plunges into a menacing world where posing explodes into bloodlust and frenzy, even as he is being stalked by a terrifying criminal who calls himself the Mastermind.

James Patterson is at his most shocking and suspenseful best in a novel that will stun and satisfy his vast audience.
