Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington, DC, Police Department when an unknown shooter
gunned down his wife, Maria, in front of him. The killer was never found, and the case turned cold,
filed among the unsolved drive-bys in D.C.’s rough neighborhoods. Years later, still haunted by his
wife’s death, Cross is making a bold move in his life. Now a free agent from the police and the
FBI, he’s set up practice as a psychologist once again. His life with Nana Mama, Damon, Jannie, and
little Alex is finally getting in order. He even has a chance at a new love. Then Cross’s former
partner, John Sampson, calls in a favor. He is tracking a serial rapist in Georgetown, one whose
brutal modus operandi recalls a case Sampson and Cross worked together years earlier. When the case
reveals a connection to Maria’s death, Cross latches on for the most urgent and terrifying ride of
his life. From the man USA TODAY has called the “master of the genre,” CROSS is the high-velocity
thriller James Patterson and Alex Cross’s fans have waited years to read–and the pinnacle of the
bestselling detective series of the past two decades. (Read More »)

In our society today, people are going out to eat more frequently than ever before in history. Eating out has become almost more about entertainment than about eating.
The food that is served continues to get fancier looking and more complex every day.
Gone are the days when you could go out to a restaurant, eat something you really enjoyed and then try to reproduce it at home. It all seems too technical and difficult.
Well, the reality is that much of that fine food does take special ingredients, equipment and skills to prepare… but not all of it!
In fact, the vast majority of the fabulous food you find in restaurants is really quite simple to prepare if someone would just take to time to explain it in simple, easy to understand and apply terms. If you were just given the right basic foundation you’d find you can cook almost ANYTHING.
I know, now you’re thinking “But how do I get that knowledge, watching TV shows, going to a Special, high priced School… How?”
Well, the answer is sitting right in front of you!
Now I know you’ve got to be wondering what the heck a chef was doing in the CIA…

Instead, this information comes out of the library of a chef who started his carreer at the prestigeous Culinary Institute of America (otherwise know as the CIA). (Read More »)
