Product Description:
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.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - It Was OK
This was an ok read by Mr. Patterson. I find that he dwells on things from the past too much and does not get on with the story. He seems to just want to fill up the pages with things that have nothing to do with the story line. Just write the story and leave the things out that don't pertain to it.
Rating:  - Not a Spanish version
Unfortunately, the book wasn't in Spanish. At least the sender was paying attention at shipping time, noticed it wasn't in Spanish, querried me whether I still wanted the book, and promptly refunded my charges when they didn't have a Spanish version available.
Rating:  - If I paid money for this book - I would be upset
This book was better than most of the more recent Alex Cross series but not up to the level of the first three. There was no suspense, no thrill. The most disappointing was the ending which seemed like the author had something else to do and just threw in a conclusion.
You have to keep your disbelieve very active for things such as why - did rape victims report the crime if they were going to refuse to describe the assailant - Kayla in serious condition was still in the emergency room ... Read More
Rating: - Cross
I gave this product zero stars as it was written in Spanish. It did not indicate that this was a Spanish version of the book. Since I don't speak or write Spanish, this book was useless.
