_________________________________________


A sniper has Washington's corrupt elite in their sights.


When two of the most corrupt people in politics are assassinated by a skilled sniper, Detective Alex Cross is called to action.

As more crooked politicians are picked off, the media frenzy intensifies. Public opinion is divided - is this anonymous marksman a villain or a hero?

As Cross investigates the case, he receives a call from his deadliest adversary and his worst fears come true.

The Mastermind is in DC, and this time he won't stop until Cross and his family are dead . . .

Critic reviews

One of the most chilling murder scenes I've read in a long time ... High-octance stuff. (DAILY EXPRESS)
Absolutely incredible ... The story is unrelentingly exciting (BBC RADIO 5 LIVE)
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 (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)
Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative, so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that ... 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)

Having read the former books by James Patterson I remember the Kyle Craig charger but not the storyline, I was a long time ago. Still be is an excellent persona. Cross is find taken by women more than talked about before.

I'm listening to all the Cross books in order and this is the first one I've struggled to finish not because of the story which was excellent as always but because of the Voice actor portraying the "good guys" he seemed to be rushing to finish constantly and used the exact same tone pitch and accent for every character weather man woman or child was really off putting and stopped me getting immersed into the story like I usually do.
