Publisher Description
Cross. Now streaming on Prime Video.
When the home of Alex Cross's 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 D.C., 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.
From the author Time magazine has called "the man who can't miss," CROSS COUNTRY is the most heart-stopping, speed-charged, electrifying Alex Cross thriller yet.
Customer Reviews
“Jump the Shark!!!”
STOP! If you are reading the Cross series in order Stop before you read this one!!! It is terrible. Paterson has turned Alex Cross into an incompetent fool. This book represents the Cross series’ “Jump the shark” volume. It is Completely unbelievable and disgusting for a character of Cross’ supposed skill, experience, and intelligence! Once the reader gets his own mind dumbed down to the level of this writing the book is entirely predictable as well all one has to do is image the stupidest thing that Cross could do in the situation and that is indeed what Patterson has him do in this novel.
This novel is so far below the standard that Patterson wrote to in his first ten Cross novels that it seems almost as if it was ghost written by a neophyte pretender.
I am very disappointed!
