Among the villains Alex Cross has faced - Gary Soneji, Casanova, Kyle Craig, The Wolf - one psychopath tops them all. Alex knows him as his wife’s killer.
No.1 bestselling author James Patterson returns with the pinnacle of all Alex Cross thrillers.
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. Alex’s need for vengeance was placed on hold as he faced another huge challenge raising his children without their mother.
The most terrifying cross ever
Years later, Alex makes a bold move: he leaves the FBI and sets 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 favour. He is tracking a serial rapist in Georgetown, one whose brutal modus operandi includes threatening his victims with terrifying photos. Cross and Sampson need the testimonies of these women to stop the predator, but the rape victims refuse to reveal anything about their attacker. The most emotional cross ever
When the case triggers a connection to Maria’s death, Alex may have a chance to catch his wife’s murderer after all these years. Will this be justice at long last? Or the culminating scene in his own deadly obsession?
From the man the Sunday Telegraph called the ‘master of the suspense genre’, Cross is the high-velocity thriller James Patterson and Alex Cross’s fans have waited years to read.
