Publisher's summary

A killer with all the skills of a master detective has made Alex Cross the subject of his deranged "investigation".

In a Virginia penitentiary, Alex Cross and his partner, John Sampson, witness the execution of a killer they helped convict. Hours later, they are called to the scene of a copycat crime. A note signed "M" rests on the corpse. "You messed up big time, Dr. Cross."

Was an innocent man just put to death? Alex soon realizes he may have much to answer for, as "M" lures the detective out of the capital to the sites of multiple homicides, all marked with distressingly familiar details - details that conjure up decades-old cases. Details that conjure up Cross family secrets. Details that make clear that M is after a prize so dear that - were the killer to attain it - Alex's heart would no longer have reason to beat.

James Has Done It Again

I really love James Patterson especially the Alex Cross series. He keeps you in a suspenseful mode waiting for the next bomb shell to explode.
Can't wait for the next book.

Alex Cross books are always enjoyable.

Loved the way the Alex's kids were involved so much in the plot. Fast read.

Great story, horrible performance

Andre Blake’s performance was so annoying that it detracted from the overall experience of the book. The tone of voice he used felt like he was shouting at times and other times talking down to the reader. After reading every Alex Cross book, the performance didn’t portray the character of the ‘man’ I had come to know through the stories.
