Synopsis: A missing little girl named Maggie
Rose. A family of three brutally murdered in the projects of
Washington, D.C. The thrill-killing of a beautiful elementary school
teacher. A psychopathic serial kidnapper/murderer who calls himself the
Son of Lindbergh. He is so terrifying that the FBI, the Secret Service,
and the police cannot outsmart him-even after he's been captured.
Gary Soneji is a mild-mannered mathematics teacher at a Washington,
D.C., private school for the children of the political and social
elite. He's so popular that the kids all call him "Mr. Chips." And he's
very, very smart. Growing up, he always knew he was smarter than the
rest of them-he knew that the Great Ones always fooled everybody. He
kidnaps Maggie Rose, the golden-haired daughter of a famous movie
actress, and her best friend, Shrimpie Goldberg, the son of the
secretary of the treasury, right out from under the noses of their two
Secret Service agents. But Gary Soneji is not surprised at his skill.
He's done it before. Hundreds of times before.
Alex Cross must face the ultimate test as a psychologist: how do you
outmaneuver a brilliant psychopath? Especially one who appears to have
a split personality-one who won't let the other half remember those
horrific acts?
Soneji has outsmarted the FBI, the Secret Service, and the police. Who will be his next victim?
