The twenty-eighth novel in the bestselling Alex Cross series

A scandalous double homicide opens the psychological case files on Alex Cross...

When a glamorous socialite and a high school principal are found murdered, the shocking double homicide dominates tabloid headlines.

Detective Alex Cross knew both victims well, especially Kay who had been his patient once. And maybe more.

Alex's former Metro Homicide Partner tracks the slain principal's final movements to Alabama where Alex investigates Kay's past. They discover that although she had many enemies, all of them needed her alive.

The more the investigators push, the more resistance they find, and Alex is left facing a desperate choice between breaking trust and losing his way.

'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 bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series

Critic reviews

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... Simply put: Nobody does it better. (JEFFREY DEAVER)

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 (LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)

James Patterson is The Boss. End of. (IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series)

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. (NELSON DEMILLE)

James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series)

[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. (DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD)

Alex Cross is a legend. (HARLAN COBEN)

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. (MICHAEL CONNELLY)

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)

Most relevant

I’ve been a fan of James Patterson for years, in particular the Alex Cross novels and this one was a decent listen except they’ve changed the narrator to another person from the previous books which made it more difficult to remain engrossed in the regular stories of Alex Cross.
Small mispronounciations throughout the audiobook take away the feeling of it and it’s as if the narrator isn’t familiar with the characters - I mean who the f*ck is Janey?? She will always be Jannie or Janelle to more avid readers/listeners.

The story is decent enough and you can feel heartbreak through one of the longest serving characters’ arc in the story but I think they need to go back to the Andre Blake to keep listeners coming back for more.
