Publisher's summary

Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington, D.C., Police Department when an unknown man gunned down his wife in front of him. But his desire for vengeance was placed on hold as he raised his children himself.

The most terrifying Cross ever....
Years later, Alex leaves the FBI to work as a full-time psychologist. His life finally feels like it's in order...until Cross's former partner, John Sampson, gives him a chilling phone call. Sampson is tracking a Georgetown serial rapist whose brutal modus operandi includes threatening his victims with terrifying photos. Now Cross and Sampson need the help of the rape victims to stop the predator, but the women refuse to talk.

The most emotional Cross ever....
When the case triggers a connection to his wife's death, Alex may finally have a chance to catch the killer. Is this a chance for justice at long last? Or 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 fans have waited years for.

Another Excellent Patterson Alex Cross Book

I enjoyed this book the story line was excellent and it bought some of the other novels together. I like that in all novels the importance of family is always part of the storyline.

Ali

Alex's son's name is Ali like Muhammed Ali the fighter...not the girls name. That was super annoying in this book.

Loved It

I really love all the books I have read by James Patterson but the way he put this one together to let you see how it's not impossible for a man to continue to love deeply after so many years of loosing his wife. But, still stand strong to take care of his family. The way he protected them, the things he did to make sure they were all happy while not giving up on wanting to know who killed his wife and why.

It just really touched my heart.

I rushed to get this book because of what I thought was a cliffhanger. the way Alex got Ali back and with no explanation at all.
