Overview

Cross. Now streaming on Prime Video. 

For Alex Cross, the toughest cases hit close to home-and in this deadly thrill ride, he's trying to solve the most personal mystery of his life.
 
When his cousin is accused of a heinous crime, Alex Cross returns to his North Carolina hometown for the first time in over three decades. As he tries to prove his cousin's innocence in a town where everyone seems to be on the take, Cross unearths a family secret that forces him to question everything he's ever known.
 
Chasing a ghost he believed was long dead, Cross gets pulled into a case that has local cops scratching their heads and needing his help: a grisly string of socialite murders. Now he's hot on the trail of both a brutal killer, and the truth about his own past-and the answers he finds might be fatal.

Interviews

Here's a little exclusive something about our friend Alex Cross. In his next book, you're going to learn a lot more about Alex's family history. That's because his cousin, Stefan, is accused of murder. So Alex heads back to his hometown of Starksville, NC (pop. 21,010) to help with the case. There, we'll get to meet all sorts of characters from Alex's past -- including a real firecracker named Aunt Hattie. If you're a Nana Mama fan like I am, I think you're really going to enjoy meeting Hattie. Let's just say loyalty runs deep—and fierce—in the Crosses' blood.

Cross Justice comes out Nov. 23. And, they tell me, you can pre-order it now.

Editorial Reviews

Patterson’s Alex Cross is back again in another crazy, suspenseful mystery that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Patterson’s writing style never disappoints, with his characters still seeming fresh even more than twenty novels in. No story is the same, and this book is as worthy a read as all the ones before it.”

RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

Narrator Ruben Santiago Hudson infuses Alex with his own blend of passion and vigor to make this presentation his own. As Alex’s search for the real killer sends him deep into his own family’s secrets, Hudson’s voice peels back layers of raw and heartrending emotion. Jefferson Mays provides counterpoint to Hudson’s performance with his skillful creation of the depraved killer. Together, the two narrators anchor the plot with enduring performances and bring Alex home at last.”
