## Description

Detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson must divide and conquer when they’re sent to investigate two serious crimes. In Washington DC, John Sampson stands in a crater in the middle of a street and calls in the bomb squad for a suspected terrorist attack. In North Carolina, Alex Cross searches the apartment of a missing psychology grad student – his own son Damon. Has following in his famous father’s footsteps made Damon a target? From FBI headquarters to police stations, airplanes to murder scenes, the detectives track crimes committed hundreds of miles apart. It will take more than distance to weaken their unstoppable partnership. -------------------------------------------- PRAISE FOR THE ALEX CROSS SERIES 'Alex Cross is a legend' HARLAN COBEN 'Patterson never, and I mean never, disappoints' USA TODAY 'Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.
