About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The 19th novel in the best-selling Alex Cross series.

Detective Alex Cross is called into action on Christmas Eve - and he'll be lucky to see the New Year....

Christmas celebrations with his family are cut short when Detective Alex Cross receives a phone call.

A drug-crazed man has taken his own family hostage and their lives depend on Alex. But it's not just them.

As the suburban nightmare unfolds, a greater threat arises - a terrorist attack like Washington has never seen. And Alex is caught in the middle.

Critic reviews

"A tense, multi-voiced reading." (Kati Nicholl, Express)

"Fast-paced and tightly plotted, this is a dramatic thriller that shows why the books in this series sell by the truckload." (Sunday Mirror)

"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)
