The People vs. Alex Cross

De: James Patterson

Narrado por: Andre Blake

Cross. Now streaming on Prime Video.

The charges: explosive

Alex Cross has never been on the wrong side of the law-until now. Charged with gunning down followers of his nemesis Gary Soneji in cold blood, Cross is being turned into the poster child for trigger-happy cops who think they're above the law. Cross knows it was self-defense. But will a jury see it that way?

The evidence: shocking

As Cross fights for his professional life and his freedom, his former partner John Sampson brings him a gruesome, titillating video tied to the mysterious disappearances of several young girls. Despite his suspension from the department, Cross can't say no to Sampson. The illicit investigation leads them to the darkest corners of the Internet, where murder is just another form of entertainment.

The People vs. Alex Cross: the trial of the century

As the prosecution presents its case, and the nation watches, even those closest to Cross begin to doubt his innocence. If he can't convince his own family that he didn't pull the trigger with intent to kill, how can he hope to persuade a jury? But even with everything on the line, Cross will do whatever it takes to stop a dangerous criminal...even if he can't save himself.

pretty good

enjoyed this. 1st audio bk narrator fine might be new for me 3 for now

Loved it. Ali steals the show

I wasn't wild about the book right before this one, tho I love the series. At this point, hearing an Alex Cross story feels like listening to old friends talking and having adventures. This one is full of unexpected humor in the scenes with Alex's youngest, Ali, who truly steals the entire last third of the book. The plot is stellar, the villains are sadistic and scary, and the ending is not a cliffhanger thank goodness. The stakes are as high as ever, and the tension is expertly maintained through scene after scene. This one really puts Alex through the wringer, and I blazed through the audio book in about a day. I could not stop listening. It's an aural page-turner, right up there with the best of James Patterson's writing.

Way too predictable.

I thought this would be different, but very predictable. I like that it's not a ghost writer.
