As an up-and-coming police officer in Washington, DC, Alex Cross was shot and killed by an unidentified gunman in front of him. The murderer was never located, and the case was abandoned amid the unsolved drive-by murders in the seedy districts of Washington, D.C.
Years later, still troubled by the loss of his spouse, Cross is taking a risk with his life. He's reopened his psychology practice after being released from the police and FBI. His life is beginning to fall into place with Nana Mama, Damon, Jannie, and young Alex. He could even be able to find love again.
John Sampson, Cross's ex-partner, then asks for a favor. He is pursuing a serial rapist in Georgetown whose vicious style of operation is reminiscent of a case Sampson and Cross co-wrote years ago. After discovering a link between the case and Maria's demise, Cross embarks on the most thrilling and pressing journey of his life.
From the man USA TODAY has dubbed the "master of the genre," CROSS is the fast-paced thriller that fans of James Patterson and Alex Cross have been waiting years to read, and the culmination of the 20 years' best-selling detective series.
Cross was the original title of this book when it was released. The movie tie-in versions are released under the Alex Cross moniker. (reduced)
