Synopsis

Cross. Now streaming on Prime Video. 

In all of Alex Cross's years with Homicide, Washington, DC, has never been more dangerous.

After shots pierce the tranquil nighttime calm of Rock Creek Park, a man is dead: what looks at first like road rage might be something much more sinister. But Alex has only just begun asking questions when he's called across town to investigate a new murder, one that hits close to home: Washington's own chief of detectives. And Alex's former boss, beloved mentor of Alex's wife, Bree.

Now there's a killer on the loose, a long list of possible suspects, a city in panic, and nobody in charge of the besieged police force.
Until Bree gets tapped for the job.

As Bree scrambles to find her footing and close two high-profile cases, new violence stuns the capital. What should be a time for her to rely on Alex for support and cooperation is instead a moment of crisis in their marriage as well as their city when their investigative instincts clash and their relationship reaches a breaking point.

And the fiendish mind behind all the violence has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, with a terrifying master plan he's only begun to put in motion. To beat him at his own game, Alex and Bree must take the law back into their own hands before he puts them both out of commission...permanently.

Started reading this thinking I had read others about a detective with photographic memory. All through the story I was wondering why his great memory skills were not being utilised. Of course it transpires that I had mixed up Alex Cross with Amos Decker from the David Baldacci books🤦‍♂️ Good romping......more

Book #24 in the Alex Cross series. Following probably his best one in a decade (Cross Justice), this one returns to the mundane, same old tired scripts: a daring, vigilante road rage killer on a powerful motorcycle, the D.C. chief of detective's and his girlfriend's drive-by murders, and a military-......more
