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.

Spellbinding

Very enjoyable Book, with plenty of plot twist to keep you wondering what was going to happen next. James Patterson's books with Alex Cross always have been one of my favorites. You won't be disappointed.

Not My Favorite

This is not my favorite "Alex Cross" book. I am sorry I spent the money to download it. I should have just gotten it at the library for free...

Amazing

Would you consider the audio edition of Cross Country to be better than the print version?

Right now, small print is difficult for me to read. So I listen to audio books to enjoy my stories.

What did you like best about this story?

The climax when all of Adan's family and Adan herself eventually dies. It was a heart-wrenching, sad event. However this fueled Alex and brought him back to focus on Tiger.

What does Peter J. Fernandez and Dion Graham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They were both good narraters.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was heart wrenching and sad that parents and children were murdered as if life was not worth anything- but this is how Tiger felt. His childhood playing a major role in who he has become - a remorseless murderer, willing to do anything for the right amount of money.

Gripping

As many Alex Cross books I have read and listened to this one had me emotionally attached to the point I was in tears.

Typical Patterson

If you like James Patterson's Alex Cross, you'll like this book. The only thing new is Alex is in Africa.

Not My Favorite Alex Cross

I didn't like how the book was read. I know what they are trying to accomplish by using multiple readers, but the ones that were not the main reader seemed like they were coming over some sort of a radio and not a natural speaking voice.

I was totally sucked into this one.

Pretty sure the Author is seeing how well we are all emotionally equipped. Scheduling counseling just as soon as I download the next book, if I am able to put it down long enough...
