Product Description
Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington, DC, Police Department when an unknown shooter gunned down his wife, Maria, in front of him. The killer was never found, and the case turned cold, filed among the unsolved drive-bys in D.C.'s rough neighborhoods.
Years later, still haunted by his wife's death, Cross is making a bold move in his life. Now a free agent from the police and the FBI, he's set up practice as a psychologist once again. His life with Nana Mama, Damon, Jannie, and little Alex is finally getting in order. He even has a chance at a new love.
Then Cross's former partner, John Sampson, calls in a favor. He is tracking a serial rapist in Georgetown, one whose brutal modus operandi recalls a case Sampson and Cross worked together years earlier. When the case reveals a connection to Maria's death, Cross latches on for the most urgent and terrifying ride of his life.
From the man USA TODAY has called the "master of the genre," CROSS is the high-velocity thriller James Patterson and Alex Cross's fans have waited years to read - and the pinnacle of the bestselling detective series of the past two decades.

 Patterson is great! August 30, 2008
I loved this book. I also loved the book itself, the size is easy to hold with my arthritic hands, and easier to read with the larger pages.
 Patterson is slipping August 14, 2008
Although this book was still enjoyable, and I will still be getting the next Alex Cross book, I can't help but think that Patterson is concentrating too much on quantity and not enough on quality these days. Comparing Along Came a Spider or any earlier books with his recent in this series, the books just don't seem to have the quality of writing that they used to. I used to wait impatiently for the next in the series, but I am now content to occupy my time reading Michael Connolly and others while waiting for the Cross books to go to paperback.

Was very happy with the book. James Patterson is never a disappointment. Amazon was very prompt in getting my order out quickly and I knew that Amazon would be the place to go to order the book.
 AT CROSS PURPOSES July 18, 2008

Another long drive turned into an enjoyable experience thanks to James Patterson and his alter ego Alex Cross. CROSS, the audio-book, gives us another look at the personal and professional life of our protagonist and the crazies who seem to always be lurking on the fringes.
The story begins in 1993 with a stranger visiting the Cross home, as is followed by the senseless murder of Cross's wife Maria (a crime that has never been solved). In an effort to escape the turmoil of police work and bring some peace and order into the lives of his children, Cross leaves the FBI to pursue a career in private counseling. At the same time Michael Sullivan (alias The Butcher) is pursuing his career as a mob assassin and part time serial rapist and murderer.
Flash forward to the present day. Sullivan remains at large continuing in his twisted career while Cross continues in his daily routine of counseling patients (primarily battered and molested women). Enter John Sampson, Cross's former partner in the D.C.PD, and a man on a quest to find the serial rapist/killer who has been terrorizing the DC area. Sampson calls upon their long standing friendship and enlists Cross's assistance in his hunt for the culprit. Slowly a connection between his wife's murder and the current crimes becomes obvious and Cross is off in pursuit of Sullivan.
As usual James Patterson does not disappoint, and the interplay between the Cross and Sullivan storylines coupled with the exceptional audio performances by readers Jay O. Sanders and Peter J. Fernandez make for engrossing listening and keeps the listener "hooked" for the entire ride.

A tipical James Patterson. Fast, light and entertaining. But don't expect much of criminal procedure's case. It's as superficial as fast.
