Kiss The Girls: James Patterson

This was another murder mystery in the Alex Cross Series. His niece Naomi is kidnapped off campus and it is suspected that the killer who calls himself "CASANOVA" is the culprit. Alex holds on to hold that she is still alive while he tries to figure out the identity of the man. When he tires of the women he kills them for Alex and the FBI to find. Through Naomi and another kidnapped girl Kate's eyes we learn Casanova has an underground lair (was part of the underground railroad) where he keeps his girls locked up. He choses only the most spectacular women to be a part of his harem and Kate is strong and smart enough to escape. She jumps an embankment near the lair into the river and is found down stream by some boys out fishing. Since Casanova always wore a mask she can't identify him. The FBI finds out through Newspaper interviews and the death of a reporter that Casanova has a cohort "The Gentleman caller" who is killing women on the West Coast while he operates on the East Coast. Alex Cross eventually kills "The Gentleman Caller" and determines that Casanova must be a cop. He sets a trap and finds out Casanova was the detective on the case from the beginning.
