Mary, Mary

Hollywood’s Brightest Stars Are Dying

Mary, Mary by James Patterson is a fast-paced, chilling thriller in the bestselling Alex Cross series. Packed with suspense, psychological intrigue, and high-stakes action, this novel pits FBI agent Alex Cross against a cunning killer with a taste for celebrity blood.

A Vacation Cut Short. A Killer on the Loose.

FBI agent Alex Cross is on a long-overdue vacation with his family in Disneyland when duty calls him back to Los Angeles. A famous actress has been gunned down outside her Beverly Hills home. Moments later, an editor at the Los Angeles Times receives an eerie email describing the murder in vivid detail — signed simply, Mary Smith.

As more A-list victims fall and Mary’s taunting emails follow each gruesome act, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary case. Hollywood's elite are under siege, and Cross is racing against time to stop a killer who’s growing bolder — and more precise — with every strike.

Deadly Glamour, Relentless Suspense

Mary, Mary delivers Patterson’s trademark tension, gripping twists, and cinematic pacing. A must-read for fans of psychological thrillers and detective fiction, this is Alex Cross at his most intense — and his most vulnerable.
