James Patterson wrote Along Came A Spider. The genre is adult fiction. It is a good young because it has a great mystery in it. This fiction also has a lesson in it. The lesson is not to tie your family up with your work. The scenery in this fable takes home in Washington DC from 1932-1934. Gary Soneji, (a.k.a. Gary Murphy) is a serial killer who kidnapped two children, Maggie Rose, the golden-haired daughter of a famous delineation actress. The other child was Shrimpie Goldberg, the son of the Secretary of the Treasury. Gary Soneji dragged these two kids from place to place solely over Washington. When Gary is Gary Soneji, he commits crimes all the time. When Gary is Gary Murphy, he is the perfect curt angel who loves his family. When hes one Gary, he cant remember the other Gary. Gary Soneji kidnapped these two kids for a ransom of 3 jillion dollars. Alex Cross is a detective who is out to get Gary. Gary Soneji went after Alexs kids, so Alex chased Gary around Washington an d killed him in cold blood. This novel shows person vs. person (Gary Soneji vs. Everyone) and person vs. self (Gary Soneji vs. Gary Murphy). The ambit in this novel takes place in the USA, mostly Washington DC. The time period was from 1932-1934. The setting is important because it took place in the projects, where lots of crimes were being committed all the time. One small(a) character in this novel is Sampson. Sampson knows Alex Cross give out than his own two kids. This is because Sampson is Alexs partner in the police force. Sampson hates Gary Soneji good as much as the next person, but unlike Alex, Sampson is triskaidekaphobic of Gary. Sampson doesnt have a wife or kids, so he hangs out at Alexs house a lot. Another minor character is Jezzie Flanagan. She is Alex and Sampsons boss at the police station. She supports them 100%. Jezzie had an contest with Alex at the end of the novel. They went to Cuba for two months for POLICE BUISNESS. I would say that the of import char acter is Alex Cross. I say this because from start to finish, hes in every chapter. Alex has two kids and he is divorced. He works as the contribute at the police department. His partner is Sampson and his boss is Jezzie Flanagan.
