Detective Alex Cross is being hunted down and his world is crashing around him.

Alex Cross has devoted his life to protecting others, his only refuge from the horrors of his job is his family - and his enemies know it.

He's never faced a foe like this before. One by one, everyone he loves is being taken from him.

If Alex doesn't act fast, he'll have no one left....

The first part of a thrilling duology by best-selling author James Patterson, followed by Hope to Die.

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)

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!!!

Heart Wrenching

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!!
