Alex Cross's first case since joining the FBI has his new colleagues stymied. Across the country, beautiful women are being kidnapped-to be bought and sold as slaves. Behind this depraved scheme stands a shadowy figure known only as The Wolf, a master criminal who has brought a new reign of terror to organized crime. With Alex's personal life in chaos because of his ex-fiancee's return and with the FBI's caution testing his patience, Alex has to go out on his own. For to stalk a ruthless predator without a name or a face, Alex Cross must become a lone wolf himself...

Review of 'The Big Bad Wolf' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was my first Alex Cross experience. I did not find this an exciting page-turner. The hacking descriptions were not quite accurate/believable/possible for me. But this is not a hacking book, so I let that slide.
It seemed to have a good flow until the end where a lot of loose ends were unexplained, but that must be the author wrapping up and getting us ready for the next book in the series.
I don't want to be negative on the book, I frequently read various authors, so the series thing is not for me.
