Publisher Description
Cross. Now streaming on Prime Video.
Discover the classic thriller that launched the #1 detective series and is the inspiration for the original series Cross on Prime Video!
Alex Cross is a homicide detective with a Ph.D. in psychology. He works and lives in Southeast D.C. and looks like Muhammad Ali in his prime. He's a tough guy from a tough part of town who wears Harris Tweed jackets and likes to relax by banging out Gershwin tunes on his baby grand piano. But he also has two adorable kids of his own, and they are his own special vulnerabilities.
Jezzie Flanagan is the first woman ever to hold the highly sensitive job as supervisor of the Secret Service in Washington. Blond, mysterious, seductive, she's got an outer shell that's as tough as it is beautiful. She rides her black BMW motorcycle at speeds of no less than 100 mph. What is she running from? What is her secret?
Alex Cross and Jezzie Flanagan are about to have a forbidden love affair-at the worst possible time for both of them. Because Gary Soneji, who wants to commit the "crime of the century," is playing at the top of his game. Soneji has outsmarted the FBI, the Secret Service, and the police. Who will be his next victim?
Gary Soneji is every parent's worst nightmare. He has become Alex Cross's nightmare. And now, he's about to become yours.
Customer Reviews
The Book is Good! the narrating bad
The book itself was excellent as long as you can get past the narrator. He didn’t tell the story so much, he just read the book. Reminded me of painful “out loud” readings in school and trainings.
Very poor narrative
One of the worst narratives of an audio books I have tried to suffer through.
The story appears to be pretty decent but could only suffer through 3 chapters before I finally gave up on the narrative.
Narrator Needs to Swallow
I find the sound of collecting saliva extremely distracting. This narrator needs to swallow more often. It’s such a turn off!
