ALSO PUBLISHED AS ALEX CROSS
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.
