With explosive charges and shocking evidence, Alex Cross is about to
face the trial of the century in the #1 New York Times bestselling
series.
Alex Cross is on the wrong side of the law. Charged with gunning down
followers of his nemesis Gary Soneji in cold blood, he is being turned
into the poster child for trigger-happy cops. Cross knows it was
self-defense. But will a jury see it that way?
When his former partner Sampson shows up needing his help, Cross jumps
at the chance, even if it may end up costing him what's left of his
career. When a string of young, blonde women go missing, the
investigation leads Cross and Sampson to the most depraved, darkest
corners of the internet, where murder is just another form of
entertainment.
As the prosecution presents its case, and the nation watches, even those
closest to Cross begin to doubt his innocence. If he can't convince his
own family that he didn't pull the trigger with intent to kill, how can
he hope to persuade a jury? But even with everything on the line, Cross
will do whatever it takes to stop a dangerous criminal . . . even if he
can't save himself.
Struggling to prove his own innocence and uncover the truth lurking
online, Cross must risk everything to save his most at-risk patient of
all: himself.
