Alex Cross faces the deadliest psychopath of them all his wife's killer!
Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington, DC, Police Department when an unknown shooter gunned down his wife, Maria, in front of him. The killer was never found, and the case turned cold, filed among the unsolved drive-bys in D.C.'s rough neighborhoods.
Years later, still haunted by his wife's death, Cross is making a bold move in his life. Now a free agent from the police and the FBI, he's set up practice as a psychologist once again. His life with Nana Mama, Damon, Jannie, and little Alex is finally getting in order. He even has a chance at a new love.
Then Cross's former partner, John Sampson, calls in a favor. He is tracking a serial rapist in Georgetown, one whose brutal modus operandi recalls a case Sampson and Cross worked together years earlier. When the case reveals a connection to Maria's death, Cross latches on for the most urgent and terrifying ride of his life.
From the man USA Today has called the "master of the genre," Cross is the high-velocity thriller James Patterson and Alex Cross's fans have waited years to read and the pinnacle of the bestselling detective series of the past two decades.
Review
"Even as the story whips by with incredible speed, Patterson manages to pack it full of suspense, emotion, and a resolution that, while perfectly satisfying, carries the author's trademark teaser hinting at the 'more' that surely will come." Booklist
Review
"This series is becoming tired, and Patterson seems to be trying to compensate by making each villain successively more repulsive....The best Patterson books, like Jack and Jill, are intricate and substantial, not just gore draped over a thin plot." Library Journal
Review
"Although Patterson keeps the pot boiling with one darn felony after another, nothing really happens....The biggest disappointment, though, is an ending that makes you realize you should have skipped this installment and waited for the sequel." Kirkus Reviews
