This is second Patterson book I've read, the first being 4th of July. It is the story of a former FBI agent who left the field for a quieter life in private practice as a psychologist. He is now being pursued by two psychotics, one of which is a former federal agent as well, and someone that Detective Alex Cross helped put away. It was a steady read, but I felt it never reached any true crescendo of suspense. Even the twists and turns didn't keep me from setting the book aside to do laundry or play with the dog.
Ultimately, the book isn't a complete disappointment, but the characters lacked the depth and definition required to snare my full attention.
