Cameron had died of blood loss. Last one to the parking lot is dog chow.

 Alex.The man twisted sharply to the left. green hills. Then everyone inside the van groaned and cursed. you know where I am. I was reeling. It wasn??t that hard.I swallowed hard.??It was a perfect. Another eerie growl pierced the gathering fog. Very nice. Small red dots at the site of bindings to the ankles where victims had been hung. ??Cross. sugar. And bizarre.The second one brutally murdered in two years. so I began to look for signs directing me to public transportation. I won??t be long. I haven??t seen anything remotely like it. Soon he would have no false morals. pleasant for a homicide detective.

????Why did you kill her???I asked the monster on the other end of the phone line.??You ought to be able to figure that out. my educated guess. Last one to the parking lot is dog chow.?? It??s much worse.Just like that. though God knows. You can??t get away from me. He worked behind a desk.The man twisted sharply to the left.????Kyle.??The bastard had been making obscene. trying to figure out something coherent about Betsey??s murder.The second one brutally murdered in two years. The bites on the female were inflicted by two humans. ??You forgot that you used to walk barefoot.I did my best to laugh. Moisture jumped off her close-cropped reddish-brown hair. you??re next. He didn??t even bother to say hello. Why there? Visit park if possible.

?? ??Thank you for your time. sugar. that settled any future debate about who was in better shape. Moisture jumped off her close-cropped reddish-brown hair. ??But enough bad poetry. Happened last night in Golden Gate Park. I??ve seen way too much of him. We were at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue. the one that preceded me.??Don??t get used to it.??On the plane trip from DC I read and reread the faxes I??d gotten that morning about the horrific murders in Golden Gate Park.??Your crime-scene notes brought it all back to me. John Sampson.?? Lee continued.??Inspector Hughes??? I asked. if you can??? A tiger shouldn??t be all that hard to find in San Francisco.??Walter Lee nodded.William was twenty. and weighed at least two-fifty. Patricia Cameron. ??I hear you.

 I was just rucking with you. I??m afraid I might get CRS someday - the can??t remember shit disease. I??ve seen way too much of him.??Well. It was with a lawyer for the DA??s office here in Washington. but most of all gut-wrenching. as long as it was consensual. Enjoying our little breakfast club. All the good ones are taken. Two men jumped out and ran to her. Alex. ??Nana already told me. My mistake. It??s moving outside Washington.??said Martha Wiatt. Alex. Her grip was strong.??It was a perfect. backward whistle. You??re my favorite puppet. The small man nodded enthusiastically.

 ??I hear you.Yeah. I thought so. they have teeth of different sizes and shapes. and Dr Rang continued. You give them a tiny advantage. Nothing overdone about it; nothing overdone about her either. He was flawless. A court order had been putthrough the FBI and the phone company was involved in ??trapping??the call. Right on the heels of the two of them. but for now it was a gorgeous sight.????Absolutely amazing/the medical examiner said. to say the least. ??That was the old me. The bites on the female were inflicted by two humans. Florida.?? Jamilla said. ??What??s the saying -??catch a tiger. The master bedroom was situated at the end of the hall.Teeth marks on male appear to be those of large animal. I noted that a businessman near the gate was reading The Examiner.

 She??d been a cross-country star at Pepperdine University. The girl in DC had suffered savage bites all over her body. and weighed just over five hundred and eighty pounds.??Oh. she ran forward in a clumsy stumble. wouldn??t mind having more/I added. It was with a lawyer for the DA??s office here in Washington. chest severely gouged - victim appears to have been bitten repeatedly. The cat??s jaws were strong enough to pulverize bone. Christ.????You??re so funny.??Walter Lee nodded. ??Okay. I hope to hell he tries.William was twenty.?? He demonstrated with his own teeth and jaw. ??You didn??t have to do this. I was definitely the first one to blink. He wore a white coat with the nickname Dragon stitched on one pocket. You give them a tiny advantage. Alex.

When he was finished. He wore a white coat with the nickname Dragon stitched on one pocket. ??but it should be. Eventually their code of personal freedom turned bad and got them two years at a Level IV correctional facility. that settled any future debate about who was in better shape.????Good to be here. His movements were almost as quick and effortless as the cat??s. All the good ones are taken. This was as bad as it gets. ??C??mon! Let??s go.??Don??t get used to it. I could still see her face. She put some distance between herself and Davis. Then he looked at Jamilla and me.??He laughed a mechanical laugh and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. The lower body was coated with blood.????A tiger??? Jamilla was the one to express the disbelief we were all feeling.?? the FBI techie complained. not the middle of Montana. I shook off the image. I desperately wanted to cover her.

 Dr Pang now seemed in his own world. tried to focus her eyes. Such as listening to some of the things that actually interest me. missing her terribly. For now anyway. I remembered kissing those eyes. Nice smile. The FBI techs and the local police were swarming at the open door like angry wasps around a threatened hive. Usually more than he tells.I called Kyle Craig from the airport and he told me his elite crew at Quantico was busy checking for related murders and biting attacks from sea to shining sea. It??s as if the humans and the large cat were running together. Jesus. or Al Green. We??ve gone through all the preliminaries. especially tigers.I did my best to laugh. didn??t you?You think he can stop me? John Sampson doesn??t have a chance against me. I wanted to turn away. experimenters. and I??m relatively sure the attacker was. She smiled ruefully and shook her head.

 the beeper on my belt went off. I can??t wait. partner. however.??Hugs too. or maybe he was just going to be Damon Cross. but then. very dignified voice.I didn??t see anyone waiting. of course.??he said. It??s a five-block walk from our house to school. the one that preceded me. too. like a mountain lion variety of cat?????No. with very thick black-rimmed glasses. the signal is roaming again. the murder in DC was awfully similar. ??You can relax. or ethics. Beside it was a printed reminder for her next shooting qualifier at the FBI range.

 ??What??s happening now??? I asked the agent in charge. Someone. Nobody will get past me. ??Oh. strong beyond belief. but your reputation precedes you. Another eerie growl pierced the gathering fog. missing her terribly. The devil meets with this lawyer. ??Where the hell is he?????Shit. I can hear your labored breathing.Yeah.??Jannie said as we pulled up in front of the Sojoumer Truth School. He was getting closer to the truth. ??There aren??t any cats in this park??? Davis asked. Lieutenant Martha. I??ve seen way too much of him. This was as bad as it gets. and depressing.??You??re up early. ??but it should be.

?? the FBI techie complained.?? ??Alien. wouldn??t mind having more/I added. The screams were so terrifying that she almost stopped running. the J. it was a tiger. thank God.??because that??s what you are. experimenters. We??re picking up different locations.?? ??Why the hell not???Sampson asked and moved closer to the agents. ??Alex Cross. The sounds of the next growl and the heavy footsteps crushing leaves were really close. I desperately wanted to cover her. Elizabeth Moore was wickedly funny and nicely irreverent. ??You??re what - thirty-nine. Is that even remotely possible? What animal would attack a jogger in a big city park? Seems far-fetched to say the least. I needed a break from the Mastermind. A tiger was involved in these murders? How could that possibly be? Dr Pang stopped talking.?? /! also like children. ??Isn??t it exquisite? You??re so lucky.

 The jaw of a tiger is extremely strong. Don??t fall back.??I love you two. Nobody will get past me. Alien. This is a very bad scene - the worst I??ve heard about in a while. my educated guess.??Got you. and many others in the commune. The male was severely bitten. ??Why don??t you come after me right now?How about tonight? As you say.?? ??Alien.?? Kyle laughed. I caught Jamilla??s eye. Dr Pang. with very thick black-rimmed glasses. doing sixty or seventy on the city streets. but I knew I couldn??t. Then he hung up on me.??The Mastermind. Of course not.

 I think. I remembered the victim. MarthaV Davis shouted. Alien is one of the best in the world. but they saw nothing. Christ.????Kyle. he certainly looked good for an accountant.??Excuse me. which serve different functions. Another eerie growl pierced the gathering fog.??Jannie rolled her eyes. Why is that?????Of course it has. but not too romantic.????Kyle. He worked behind a desk. I shuddered against my will. I didn??t see them anywhere in the bedroom. Lieutenant Martha. She smiled ruefully and shook her head.What game were the killers playing? Autoerotic? I remembered the related case in Washington.

????Such as?????Such as picking a great spot for dinner.So why did somebody need all that blood?I was still thinking about the strange. This was as bad as it gets. staring into the distance at the rich. moved at a fast pace as the evening fog began to roll in like a sulfurous cloud across Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I saw the Washington Convention Center on the right.??The Mastermind laughed again. Then he looked at Jamilla and me.??Damon and Jannie groaned. He wore a black pocket T-shirt and powder blue shorts. For now anyway. the beeper on my belt went off.??the Mastermind said. Why there? Visit park if possible. but they leaned in close and I wondered how much longer they would be willing to give me hugs and pecks on the cheek. pleasant for a homicide detective. a reflex over which I had no control.The following morning I dropped the kids at summer school on my way to the airport. its lithe. and obviously serious about the job he had taken on.M.

 He didn??t just kill Betsey. How could I forget it?A sixteen-year-old runaway girl from Orlando. It??s totally unique. Sincere. dear.They were invincible. not the middle of Montana. Well. Called petechiae by the ME. I??ll call you. a good spot for this kind of thing. Patricia Cameron had died of blood loss. Blazing red eyes stared down at her. He was a tall man. the murder in DC was awfully similar. didn??t you?You think he can stop me? John Sampson doesn??t have a chance against me. Called petechiae by the ME.??Tell me about Betsey Cavalierre. They were suspected of much more serious crimes.The second one brutally murdered in two years. Happened last night in Golden Gate Park.

 quietly. but your reputation precedes you.??! promised. ??This is terrific of you to help. The sound was almost unearthly.??Everything??s fine. Now what had happened?Kyle knew who was calling back. Then he looked at Jamilla and me. or Al Green. Dr Pang. the murder in DC was awfully similar. TWO MURDERED. with very thick black-rimmed glasses. and she stuck out her tongue. who often come on a little gruff. Also. okay. but I knew I couldn??t. He attacked the tiger??s vulnerable creamy-white underside. Somebody. as I walked off the plane and into crowded San Francisco International Airport.

 ??Isn??t it exquisite? You??re so lucky. ??That was the old me. Well. Female lost over 40% of her blood. Each jaw contains six pointed cutting teeth; two very sharp. Loser buys at The Abbey. Oh God! Run! Run.??she extended her hand and smiled as I took it.??Another loud growl - and this time it was really close.????I can already taste a dos Equis. of course. and that was very fast. I think. The male was severely bitten. the J. Eventually their code of personal freedom turned bad and got them two years at a Level IV correctional facility. which are situated between the lateral and the first premolar on each side of each jaw. He was going to be the next Luther Vandross. now it??s back in the city. and wished she hadn??t. When he and Michael were small boys.

 Lieutenant Martha. Alex. and she was still in great shape. She was wearing jeans. Her chin struck the pavement. my educated guess. if you can??? A tiger shouldn??t be all that hard to find in San Francisco. The irony stung. Martha had known that all along. staring into the distance at the rich.??You??re up early. It??s a whole lot more interesting than any trolley-car ride.??I have a big concert on Saturday. Dr Cross. threatening phone calls to me every morning for over a week. ??Okay. the one that preceded me. showing off some of the whitest teeth she had ever seen.??Damon reminded me. I remembered the victim. It isn??t happening for some reason.

 mourning Betsey. you know where I am.??She truly does. Walter Lee. I??d resist the sell out of any idea that originated with the FBI.??I??ve read all of Toni Morrison??s novels. ??Now what??s the catch? There has to be a catch. it??s exactly what I came out here to see.??William Alexander stood off in the distance. I could see the bold headline on the front page HORROR IN GOLDEN GATE PARK.??Lee said in a soft. He??d punished Betsey with it. chest severely gouged - victim appears to have been bitten repeatedly. They were like sharpened knives. but my insides were already tied up in knots. The incisors were huge. she managed to pull herself up.?? the blond man laughed and patted the animal. they take a lot. It was his second year with the Washington Boys Choir and he was doing real well.It was him again.

 Like they were a pack. Dr Cross. Where the hell was the Mastermind calling from???I think we have a fix on him. worse than anything else. When the good times come with your kids.Your date??s a lawyer. At one point during his examination. This is a very bad scene - the worst I??ve heard about in a while. I didn??t want to answer. Kyle has been a solid friend for many years.Because he??s the Mastermind. You solved Jack and Jill. Dr fang.??Walter Lee said. this whole area had been a commune. This is getting a little spooky. ??He??s a veterinary dental expert from the Animal Medical Center in Berkeley. I only had a carry-on bag; I had promised to be home by Saturday for Damon??s concert. Kyle has been a solid friend for many years.It didn??t seem possible that a dog had covered so much ground so fast. But what was catching up to her???Martha! There??s something behind me.

But Davis had been attacked by something vicious.??she extended her hand and smiled as I took it. Lieutenant Martha. ??In contrast to humans.????Is that important in terms of these murders??? Jamilla Hughes asked Dr Rang.??Stop! Stop! Stop!??Amazingly the tiger stopped. . I was reeling.??On the plane trip from DC I read and reread the faxes I??d gotten that morning about the horrific murders in Golden Gate Park. powerful body moving effortlessly.Teeth marks on male appear to be those of large animal.It was him again. as long as it was consensual.
