Cat and Mouse by James Patterson pages 100-151

       This section of the book starts out with Gary Soneji dreaming about different killers that he has read about when he was a young boy locked in his cellar. Then the book switches perspectives back to Alex Cross and his family, and it seems like they are having a good time. Alex is talking about how out of all of the killers he had to deal with, Gary is by far the scariest most whacked-out one. Gary had also given a stray cat to Alex, and he told him whenever he saw that cat remember Gary is in the house, Gary is right here. Then Alex takes his cat, Rosie, to the FBI quarters in Quantico to make sure that Gary did not do anything to the cat that could harm the Cross family. While Alex was at the FBI quarters he went to see Kyle Craig, and listen to him talk about the killer in Europe, Mr. Smith. Also, Kyle talks about a man named Thomas Pierce, who is in charge of the Mr. Smith Case, and how he is dedicated because Mr. Smith killed his wife. Then after Alex finds out that nothing is abnormal about his cat, Rosie, Alex and John Sampson drive down to Wilmington, Delaware. As they arrive at Gary's house they find out that Gary had killed his wife Missy Murphy, but he left his daughter alive tied up in the cellar. Then the next day Alex drives down to Lorton prison, a high-security federal prison. In the Prison Alex met an inmate named Jamal Autry, and Jamal knew about Gary Soneji. Jamal told Alex that Gary was dying because he has AIDS, and Alex realized that Gary was on this mad rampage because he had nothing to lose and had nothing to fear from anyone. Then this section ends with Gary Soneji in a persons house creeping around throughout the entire house. Then Gary starts attacking the owner of the house and he says, "Detective Goldman, so nice to meet you.", and Detective Goldman is the man that helped to work the Penn Station case in New York.

     This part of the book was not as good as the other sections. I did not think it was as good because the parts when it talked about the killed victims from Gary or Mr. Smith, they were a little bit to descriptive. Also when Alex interviewed Jamal Autry it had a little bit too much information. Overall i like this book, but this section was just a little bit too much violence and too much description about it.
