Bestseller Patterson's 14th Alex Cross thriller doesn't follow up on the plot threads left dangling in 2007's Double Cross concerning still-on-the-loose serial killer Kyle Craig. Instead, Cross, a Washington, D.C., police detective, takes on a very different quarry—a human monster known as the Tiger with ties to the African underworld. When the Tiger and his teenage thugs butcher writer Ellie Cox, her husband and children in their Georgetown home, Cross is devastated because Ellie had been his girlfriend in college. The Cox family massacre proves to be just the first in a series.

Designed to support writing projects, this volume offers advice to children on writing a story. It makes suggestions to guide and encourage children to be creative - whilst delivering and reviewing basic skills. It is part of a series seeking to provide both dip-in resources to support the National Curriculum and the National Literacy strategy and "from cover to cover" projects to produce one or more pieces of extended writing, or multiple pieces of shorter work. The books should also help readers to evaluate work (theirs and that of others) as well as helping them make their own work.
