The Big Bad Wolf by James Patterson introduces Alex Cross in his first case since joining the FBI, leaving his new colleagues perplexed. Throughout the country, men and women are being kidnapped in broad daylight, only to disappear completely. Alex soon realises these people are not being taken for ransom; they are being bought and sold. The sinister mastermind behind this horrendous trade appears to be The Wolf, who is ushering in a new era of terror in organised crime.

Even as Alex admires the vast resources of the FBI, he becomes frustrated with the Bureau's clumsiness and cautious nature when swift action is required. A lone wolf by nature, Alex feels compelled to hunt his new prey alone, determined to rescue some of the victims while they are still alive.

As the case intensifies, Alex finds himself in personal turmoil. He is in hot water at home when his ex-fiancée Christine Johnson re-enters his life, and not for the reasons Alex might have hoped.
