When a pair of criminal masterminds, the Wolf and the Weasel, threatens the destruction of several of the world's major cities unless their demands are met, ace-detective, Alex Cross is once again called into action. Joining forces with Scotland Yard and Interpol, Alex fights his way through a torrent of false leads, impersonators, and foreign agents before he gets close to the heart of the crimes.
当一对犯罪阴谋家——“狼”和“黄鼠狼”——发出了不满足其要求就要摧毁全球几大城市的威胁后,皇牌探员亚历克斯•克罗斯再次受命采取行动。在苏格兰场和国际刑警的配合下,亚历克斯在潮水般的错误线索中、在不断与冒名顶替者和外国探员打交道的过程中一路过关斩将,查清了罪恶的根源。
This is the tenth in a series of Alex Cross thrillers and some critics say that the author, James Patterson, is losing his touch. Nonetheless, he has created another bestseller, which has been praised for its nail biting suspense by die-hard Patterson fans and new readers alike. If you have never read any of his explosive adventures before expect London Bridges to tease you with its hints regarding the identities of the villains as well as pull the rug from under your feet more than once with its unexpected revelations.
