Alex Cross faces the most cunning, psychotic killer of his career in
the blockbuster James Patterson novel that inspired a major motion
picture.
Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington, D. C. Police Department
when an unknown shooter gunned down his wife in front of him. Alex's
need for vengeance was placed on hold as he faced another huge
challenge: raising his children without their mother.
Years later, Alex is making a bold move in his life. He has left the FBI
and set up practice as a psychologist once again. His life with Nana
Mama, Damon, Jannie, and little Alex finally feels like it's in order.
He even has a chance at a new love.
Then Cross's former partner, John Sampson, calls in a favor. Now Cross
must go on the hunt for the most cunning, psychotic killer he has ever
faced. . . and it pushes him dangerously close to the breaking point.
