What to expect

Alex Cross is drawn into a bitter personal battle against corruption, conspiracy and savage violence in a chase that takes him through a vast and uncompromising landscape.

When Cross is called to investigate a massacre-style murder scene, he is shocked to find that the victim is an old friend. Angry, hurt and more determined than ever, Cross begins the hunt for the perpetrators of this cruel crime.

He is drawn into a dangerous underworld right in the heart of Washington DC that leads him on a life threatening journey to the Niger Delta where heroin dealing, slave trade and oil and gas theft are rife.

At the centre of this terrifying world, Cross finds the Tiger, the psychopathic leader of a fearsome gang of killers who are not what they seem.

When the Tiger is on the prowl, he shows no mercy to others. But Alex Cross is hot on his heels in a heart-stopping chase that takes him across Africa and finds him not only hunting for a horrific killer but also fighting for his own survival.

Critics Review

  • [Cross Country] opens with one of the most chilling murder scenes I’ve read in a long time … High-octane stuff

    DAILY EXPRESS

  • It was absolutely fantastic … Cross Country has an amazing sense of speed, there’s a really brilliant tension in the plot … You’re just completely engrossed in it from start to finish … The story is unrelentingly exciting

    THE SIMON MAYO SHOW, BBC Radio 5 Live

  • Heart-stopping, speed-charged, and electrifying, Cross Country is a stunning thriller from “the man who can’t miss.

    TIME

  • It’s no mystery why James Patterson is the world’s most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page … Simply put: Nobody does it better.

    JEFFERY 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
