  • "Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington DC police department, when an unknown shooter gunned down his wife in front of him. Alex's need for vengeance had to be placed on hold as he faced the challenge of raising his children. Years later, Alex has left the FBI and set up in practice again as a psychologist. Then his former partner calls in a favour and asks him to assist in obtaining the testimonies of a serial rapist who terrifies his victims with horrifying photographs, so that they are too scared to talk about him. When the case triggers a connection to his wife's death, Alex may have a chance to catch her murderer after all these years."

  • "Alex Cross despuntaba ya en la Policia de Washington cuando una supuesta bala perdida acabo con la vida de su mujer, Maria. Aunque el cuerpo le pedia venganza, el cuidado de sus hijos resulto ser una realidad imposible de posponer. Pero ahora, diez anos despues, su vida ha cambiado radicalmente: se ha retirado del FBI e incluso su vida familiar parece en orden. Entonces, su antiguo companero John Sampson le llama para pedirle un favor. Esta siguiendo la pista a un violador en serie con un brutal modus operandi: amenaza a sus victimas con fotos aterradoras de torturas cometidas por el mismo. Cross y Sampson necesitan el testimonio de alguna de las mujeres, pero ellas se niegan a revelar nada acerca de su agresor. Tanto Cross como Sampson ven clara la conexion de este caso con la muerte de Maria; parece que Alex tendra la oportunidad de capturar al asesino de su mujer despues de todo este tiempo. ¿Podra por fin cerrar aquel doloroso episodio o esto es solo la culminacion de su propia obsesion? / Forensic psychologist Alex Cross's storied career in private practice, with the FBI and as a Washington, D.C., cop has brought him into contact with all kinds of seriously disturbed killers, but his 12th outing from bestseller Patterson (after 2005's Mary, Mary) may be the ultimate in lunatic deadliness. Beginning with a flashback to the murder of Cross's wife, Maria, Patterson quickly introduces Michael Sullivan (aka the Butcher of Sligo)."@en

Beginning with a flashback to the murder of Cross's wife, Maria, Patterson quickly introduces Michael Sullivan (aka the Butcher of Sligo). What follows is a frenetically paced series of brutal rapes and killings by Sullivan, once employed by the mob as a freelancer and now at war with them. Cross juggles being a single parent and being involved in the dangerous game of tracking serial killers until he finally decides to give it up for his family. Needless to say, he's drawn back into the game when it promises a chance of finding Maria's killer. Cross's competence and vulnerability make a stark contrast with Sullivan's sadistic mutilations and psychological manipulations of his victims. Fans know that Cross will survive, but at what cost?"

  • "The #1 bestselling novel that inspired the major new motion picture Alex Cross starring Tyler Perry. 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. This novel was originally published under the title Cross. The movie tie-in editions are published under the title Alex Cross."@en
