Publisher's summary

When the home of Alex Cross' oldest friend, Ellie Cox, is turned into the worst murder scene Alex has ever seen, the destruction leads him to believe that he's chasing a horrible new breed of killer. As Alex and his girlfriend, Brianna Stone, become entangled in the deadly Nigerian underworld of Washington DC, what they discover is shocking: a stunningly organized gang of lethal teenagers headed by a powerful, diabolical man - the African warlord known as the Tiger. Just when the detectives think they're closing in on the elusive murderer, the Tiger disappears into thin air. Tracking him to Africa, Alex knows that he must follow. Alone.

Cross Country Review

I found this Audiobook to be quite exciting and enjoyed the narration. While I can't quite picture a Morgan Freeman in the role of Alex Cross for this book, it was narrated very well and I particularly liked the audio enhancements and sound effects during suspenseful moments during chase scenes.

Cross Country

This book was performed well. I just didn’t care for the story line. Very graphic. I’m aware of the atrocities that occur in Africa but this story brought it home. Not my favorite Alex Cross book.

Disappointing

I finished but skipped chapters as it became so repetitive. I was sick of hearing Alex Cross being tortured. That’s all this was. Person after person getting slaughtered after interacting with him. Not forwarding THIS book to ANY of my friends. Just flat out disappointed.

Getting back to Cross

Not up to early Alex but a good return to the Cross character and a story line that makes you want to get back to listening. A good ear read.

Seatbelts needed for this ride

This book takes you on a journey that is unbelievable! So many times I wondered how Alex was going to “get out of this one!” The action and suspense throughout are amazing. I couldn’t wait to get to the end and see how Alex would come out on top. Also I’m glad that Patterson addressed the horrors that were going on in Africa since the stories get very little press in America.

Worth the wait

This was one of the slowest starts to a Cross book, but the ending is worth it. Hang in there!

A lot of graphic violence

I read to escape some of the realities of life. Although I am aware of world events, I do not want to have a story based on the Atrocities occurring.
