Z exkluzívnej súkromnej školy vo Washingtone, D.C., sú unesené dve deväťročné deti, Maggie Rose Dunneová, dcéra slávnej filmovej herečky, a Michael Goldberg, syn ministra financií. Pátraním po únoscovi, ktorým je pravdepodobne mimoriadne obľúbený učiteľ matematiky, istý pán Soneji, je poverený čierny detektív a doktor psychológie Alex Cross. Zároveň sa na pátraní zúčastňuje aj FBI a Tajná služba, najmä jej oddelenie zaoberajúce sa ochranou osôb, ktorého dvaja agenti mali vykonávať nad deťmi dozor. Alex Cross má pred sebou prekážky nastavené psychopatickým, no pritom geniálnym únoscom, ktorému sa darí jednostaj unikať. Čím hlbšie je vťahovaný do prípadu, a to nielen v racionálnej, ale aj v emocionálnej rovine, a čím je ním posadnutejší, tým širšie siete úkladov sa okolo neho rozprestierajú. Napokon mu správne riešenie prípadu musí naznačiť sám únosca.

Across the country, men and women are being kidnapped in broad daylight and then disappearing completely. These people are not being taken for ransom, Alex realizes. They are being bought and sold.

A lone wolf himself, he has to go out on his own in order to track the Wolf and try to rescue some of the victims while they are still alive." "As the case boils over, Alex is in hot water at home too. His ex-fiancee, Christine Johnson, comes back into his life - and not for the reasons Alex might have hoped."--BOOK JACKET.
