Gary Soneji

Gary Soneji first appears in Along Came a Spider. He kidnaps two children (see Along Came a Spider). At the end of that book Gary Soneji is in prison, but in the next book, Kiss the Girls, Gary escapes from prison yet again. In Jack and Jill, Cross gets a call from Gary saying that he'll be seeing him soon. In Cat and Mouse, Gary finally returns, coming back in the game by opening fire in many subway stations and killing his wife Missy, and locks his daughter Roni in a cellar as when he was as a kid. Eventually Cross finds out that while in prison Gary was raped and now has a disease that will kill him in a matter of time, making Gary go on a mad killing spree. Gary goes after the man who raped him, but Cross catches him and Gary leads them into a mad chase in a subway. Gary reveals he has a bomb and Cross shoots him. Gary falls down and at the same time the bomb goes off, setting Gary on fire. Gary dies. But, later, in the same book, Cross is attacked in his house, and suspicious that it was Gary rise. It is later found out that it was Gary's friend who did it because Gary told him to before.
