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 is making a bold move in his life. He has left the FBI and set 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 favor. 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 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 justice be served at long last? Or is this the culminating scene in his own deadly obsession?

From the man USA Today has called the "master of the genre," Cross is the high-velocity thriller James Patterson's and Alex Cross's fans have waited years to read.

JAMES   PATTERSON   is one of the top-selling writers of all time. Patterson's most recent #1 bestsellers include The 5th Horseman, Mary, Mary; Lifeguard; and the International Thriller of 2005, Honeymoon.
