Description

In this action-packed thriller from the world’s most popular storyteller, Supreme Court Candidates are being murdered—and only Alex Cross and John Sampson can take on the killer.

The inspiration for #1 hit streaming show, Cross.


In Washington, DC… 
The president-elect is tapping the country’s brightest legal minds as candidates for the Supreme Court. 
Then one of them is gunned down.  
Another is stabbed.  
A third is murdered near midnight on a city street.  

Now it’s up to Detective Alex Cross, the FBI’s top expert in criminal behavior, to go inside the mind of a diabolical killer and protect the country’s best hope for justice.

“[Alex Cross’s] innate nature is to protect people…If he has a weakness, it’s his family, especially his children. They’re the chink in his armor. But aside from that, it’s tough to get at him.” Aldis Hodge, star of Cross on Prime Video

    I enjoy reading James Pattersons books. He is an amazing writer with details that immerse you into every story. His writing takes you like you are actually doing the investigating and you never know what’s going to happen next.
  • Good ,quick read

    5 Stars. Another great outing for Cross and Company. Patterson has created one of my all time favorite characters in Alex Cross. I’m glad that Prime Video (I think?) finally got it right as this series of books can fill many seasons of the show. M and Maestro were at it again and I don’t really thinks that they have been conquered. Cross and Sampson have been forced to rough it lately and I’ve enjoyed that angle. The next one can’t come soon enough for me. Patterson books are the great escape for me. Fun. Fast. Exciting, and not too serious. Summer reads for all year round.

    One of his worse. Boring and drawn out. Took me days in between to pick it up and start reading again.
  • An enjoyable adventure

    I really enjoyed the latest Alex Cross book. It was a thrilling read, plenty of suspense. I love the family relationships and working together as a team. I was totally engulfed in the book, quite a page turner. Can’t wait for the next one.
