The firearms use seems fitting within the context of an ongoing series of thrillers but it would be a shocking number if it occurred in the real world. Patterson portrays this well. Patterson fans know what to expect from an \'Alex Cross\' novel. There is a formula and it still works successfully. What will be unexpected for some dedicated fans is the feeling they have stepped into the middle of an ongoing story and not knowing why.
