Washington, D.C. The Cross house was twenty paces away and the proximity and sight of it made Gary Soneji's skin prickle. It was Victorian style, white shingled, and extremely well kept. As Soneji stared across Fifth Street, he slowly bared his teeth in a sneer that could have passed for a smile. This was perfect. He had come to murder Alex Cross and his family. - Cat & Mouse (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] Sundown had bloodied the horizon over the uneven rooftops of South Boston. Birds were perched on every roof and seemed to be watching the girl walking slowly below. - Cradle and All (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] "I'm pregnant Alex." - Cross (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] The District Attorney for Cumberland County, North Carolina, Marc Sherman, pushed the old wooden captain's chair away from the prosecution table, and it made a harsh, scrapping eeek in the nearly silent courtroom. - Four Blind Mice (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] Colonel Geoffrey Shafer loves his new life in Salvador, Brazil's third-largest city and some would say its most intriguing. - London Bridges (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] ACT ONE, SCENE ONE, the Storyteller thought to himself, and couldn't hold back a dizzying rush of anticipation. - Mary, Mary (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] Brianne Parker didn't look like a bank robber or a murderer--her pleasantly plump baby face fooled everyone. But she knew that she was ready to kill if she had to this morning. She would find out for sure at ten minutes past eight. - Roses Are Red (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] Kate Wilkinson sat in warm bathwater in the weird but wonderful old-fashioned porcelain tub in her New York apartment. The apartment exuded "old" and "worn" in ways that practitioners of shabby chic couldn't begin to imagine. - Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas [Books (First Lines)] The Phipps Plaza shopping mall in Atlanta was a showy montage of pink-granite floors, sweeping bronze-trimmed staircases, gilded Napoleonic design, lighting that sparkled like halogen spotlights. - The Big Bad WOlf (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] Nothing ever starts where we think it does. So of course this doesn't begin with the vicious and cowardly murder of an FBI agent and good friend named Betsey Cavalierre. I only thought that it did. My mistake, and a really big and painful one. - Violets Are Blue (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)]
