Cat & Mouse By James Patterson pages 415-451

        This is the last section of the book. At the very start of this book Alex Cross is working day and night to try and find a pattern to all of the Mr. Smith killings. The only time off he gets, is when he takes his kids to school and when he eats food. He is always looking for any similarities between all of his murders. Then he finds a connection between all of these murders and he finds out that Mr. Smith is confessing something. Then when Alex puts a list of all of Mr. Smith's victims he sees that the initials spell I Murdered Isabella Calais. He knows who all of the victims are, except that the "s" is missing. Alex then thinks he knows who is going to be Mr. Smith's next target. He believed the next victim was Dr. Martin Straw, and he was the man who was having an affair with Isabella. Alex then gathered only a few FBI agents and they waited outside Dr. Straw's house waiting for Mr. Smith to arrive. They did not know that Mr. Smith was listening in on their radio frequency, so he knew that there was a trap for him at the house so he fled with his car towards route two. John Sampson and Alex followed close behind him, on the highway they were pushing 90 mph. Then, somehow they were talking to each other when they were at these high speeds on the highway, Mr. Smith said, "I Murdered Isabella Calais and I can't stop the killing." Alex then knew that with these new letters would be more victims. Then Mr. Smith's car went off the Highway, but Alex and John were going to fast to follow Smith off the highway. When the two detectives finally made it down off the highway, they found Mr. Smith's car abandoned on the side of the road. Alex, then thought that maybe Smith had gone to his apartment in Cambridge to finally end this. When John and Alex arrive at Smith's apartment he is already trying to kill himself, but Alex tries to stop him. Alex gets stabbed by the knife Smith is using, then Sampson shoots Smith twice and he dies.

        I thought that this was a good ending to the book Cat and Mouse. Two times to this book, the good guys won against Gary Soneji and Mr. Smith. I liked this book because it ended well for Alex and his family, although there was tension in the middle of the book, when his family was attacked and everyone thought that Alex had been killed. Also, how there was tension when everyone knew that Thomas Pierce was Mr. Smith, but they could not put enough hard evidence on him. I would recommend this book to someone that has a stomach to take some of the murder scenes, and someone old enough because there are some inappropriate scenes in the book
