He has been hunted, stalked like prey, his predator priming himself for the kill.

Cross has devoted his life to protecting others. Now he’s unable to protect even those closest to him.

As a police detective, he has made many enemies, but never like this.

Everything he loves is being taken from him.

Soon he will have nothing and no one left.

Critic reviews

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. The Alex Cross series proves it. It just rolls along, irresistibly. Here's to the next twenty years.
James Patterson is The Boss. End of.
Twenty years ago, I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed. Congratulations, Jim, on twenty years of Alex Cross and on Cross My Heart, which I am loving. You the man.
Alex Cross is one of the best-written heroes in American fiction, and each Cross novel further defines what it means to be a professional, a husband, a father, and above all, a man. Congratulations to James Patterson on twenty years of Alex Cross – both of you only get better and better.
Alex Cross is a legend. He has thrilled us and kept us on the edge of our seat for twenty years now.
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.
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
Patterson is in a class by himself. (VANITY FAIR)

Very well written and spoken. Kept you gripped, as usual, all the way through. When he was going through the pain of thinking that the whole of his family had been murdered it was heart wrenching. The book left you feeling that there was unfinished business as he was yet to find them and save them - still holding my breath!!!

If you could sum up Cross My Heart in three words, what would they be?

One of the very best Cross books since Kiss the Girls-a riveting, excellent read

What did you like best about this story?

The unbelievable and shocking events at the end! Just glad I read it now and only have to wait a few months for the next book!!

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The end shocker.......also the part when Sampson pretended he didn't know anything was up-despite the fact Alex was secretly handing him evidence! Brilliant

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

See above

Any additional comments?

Such a clever storyline......I suspect the next book will reveal that all is ok-how good would it be if the events turned out to be true-as Alex first thought.....and as a consequence he turned against the law and became a vigil anti that was being chased by the police?!

Amazing!!
