Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The legendary thriller that launched the international Alex Cross phenomenon.
Two children have been kidnapped from an elite Washington D.C. private school. Detective Alex Cross must find them.
The kidnapper's identity is quickly determined as the students' maths teacher, Gary Soneji, but capturing him is the true challenge.
Alex's pursuit of the sinister Soneji escalates and it becomes increasingly clear that he's something far more dangerous. Alex discovers that the crime runs deeper and begins to uncover connections that no one could have anticipated.
Adapted as a major Hollywood movie starring Morgan Freeman.
Critic reviews
"No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it." (Lee Child, international best-selling author of the Jack Reacher series)

Excellent
This is the first Alex Cross book I have listened (have read the womens murder club) and had this over Christmas as a way to relax.
The story line had me guessing from start to finish and even the ending came as a surprise.
Without giving the game away, 2 children are taken in broad daylight in site of teachers and nothing is said, which starts a story of twists and turns.
I believe that there is also a film but not seen that - but totally recommend the book
