Publisher's summary

Just when Alex Cross thought his life was calming down into a routine of patients and therapy sessions, he finds himself back in the game - this time to catch a criminal mastermind like no other. A spate of elaborate murders in Washington, D.C., have the whole East Coast on edge. They are like nothing Alex and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. With each murder, the case becomes increasingly complex.

There's only one thing Alex knows: the killer adores an audience. As victims are made into gruesome spectacles citywide, inducing a media hysteria, it becomes clear to Alex that the man he's after is a genius of terror - and he's after fame. The killer has the whole city by its strings. And he'll stop at nothing to become the most terrifying star that Washington, D.C., has ever seen.

Solve another case with Alex Cross.

great book

I loved it. I have never listen to books until today. I will ha e to listen to the remained of the series.

Another great book

I love how Alex's character keeps growing in these books. Along with his children getting older.

Another One

Patterson is so good at spinning a thriller. His characters contrast beautifully & never feel forced.

terrible voices!!!

the characters reading this one to us were just off!! it did not enjoy the book because I had to hear the ignoring tones.

He's Back!

Yes, Kyle Craig is back, but also James Patterson is back. Over the past few years, Patterson has been penning a growing number of books with co-authors. He's also been turning them out in mass quantity.

He seems to be back to normal in the latest Alex Cross novel (Double Cross). He's dating a new girl who is part of local law enforcement, and as we knew it would, his vow to stay away from the nasty guys didn't last long. Though his private practice is doing well, he is drawn into one of his new girlfriend's cases in a big way. Faster than you can say "Nana Mama", Alex is back in the know at the Washington PD and consulting on the latest mass murders.

About this time, his former buddy and convicted serial killer Kyle Craig makes an abrupt and unscheduled departure from maximum security and begins to reek his own special kind of havoc. We knew that Kyle was a bit miffed at Alex for bringing him in, and the Mastermind is back in action and consulting himself - with the new Washington area killer.

If you liked early Patterson, you'll really like this new one.

Fast moving suspense

Patterson is a master of his craft let alone the development of his character Alex Cross. This book is another fast joyride! Enjoy

You did it again Patterson!

Another one of James Patterson's great Alex Cross Series. This one was able to follow, and had a nice story line. I continue to love Peter F and Michael H as the narrators! On to the next Cross book that sounds really good!

Loved it!!

I have read some of the reviews and honestly I don't know how you can't really enjoy this book!!!Alex Cross is the man!!! I was into the story from the beginning and held on until the end...Pattersons descriptions always paint such graphic pictures from locations to characters and their mannerisms. I think this is a great read. I loved the narraters and can't wait for the new Alex Cross novel!

Good, Patterson

Nothing to get annoyed about here. Another in the Cross series and patterson adding a little twist here. If you like Patterson you will like this title.

It Doesn't Disapoint

What did you like best about Double Cross? What did you like least?

I enjoyed the story line. Unfortunately the more Cross books I read the less I like Alex Cross. I do however like the story lines as they pertain to the crimes and so I am in the process of listening to all of them.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Again, I really don't care for the character of Alex Cross. I love hearing about the villains and their perspectives. Alex Cross is a good crime fighter but not much more beyond that. I can't understand how he gets such great women like Bri Stone to care about him when he is so unappealing as a partner.

Which character – as performed by Peter J. Fernandez and Michael Stuhlbarg – was your favorite?

Both Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Stuhlbarg are excellent story tellers. I enjoy all the characters they give life to.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

Despite finding Alex Cross annoying as a man, grandson and expecially a father I really enjoy the stories and "mysteries' and will continue to listen to the series.
