NOW THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES ‘CROSS’ ON PRIME VIDEO
‘Alex Cross is a legend’ HARLAN COBEN
‘It’s no mystery why James Patterson is the world’s most popular thriller writer . . . Simply put: nobody does it better.’ JEFFERY DEAVER
Alex Cross is preparing to resign from the Washington Police Force. He’s enjoying the feeling; not least because the Mastermind is now in prison. And Alex has met a woman, Jamilla Hughes, and he is talking about the future. Then John Sampson shows up at the house, desperate for Alex’s help. Three young military wives have been brutally killed during a ‘girls’ night out’ and Sampson’s friend, a master sergeant at the army base, stands accused.
Uncovering evidence of a series of suspicious murder convictions, Alex and Sampson are determined to infiltrate the closed world of the military. But what is the army trying to hide? And do the mysterious symbols daubed on the house of the accused mean that there are more sinister forces at work?
‘Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It’s what fires off the movie projector in the reader’s mind.’ MICHAEL CONNELLY
‘One of the greatest storytellers of all time’ PATRICIA CORNWELL
‘James Patterson is The Boss. End of.’ IAN RANKIN
