ALEX CROSS IS GOING HOME.

BUT WHAT WILL HE FIND WHEN HE GETS THERE?

When his cousin is accused of an unthinkable crime, Detective 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 justice is hard to find, Cross unearths a family secret that forces him to question everything he's ever known.

Chasing the ghosts of his past, Cross gets pulled into a case involving a string of murders. Now he's hot on the trail of a cold-hearted killer - and the answers he finds could be fatal.

Critic reviews

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... Simply put: Nobody does it better. (JEFFREY 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)
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination. (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
Patterson is in a class by himself. (VANITY FAIR)

What made the experience of listening to Cross Justice the most enjoyable?

Society murders in Florida, a story telling grandfather , what gave these to do with Alex Cross and his family. Little by little the threads are woven together to form a really thrilling pattern.

What did you like best about this story?

If I told you it would give the plot away, besides the whole story was so good it would be difficult to choose a favourite part.

Have you listened to any of Jefferson Mays and Ruben Santiago Hudson ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This was my first, found it hard to " see" Alex in the voice, however I became so engrossed in the tale I soon forgot my irritation.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Tension, suspense, thrill a minute, it's all here.

Any additional comments?

James Patterson turns out book after book, I buy faithfully but always with the thought it can't live up to the last one, but it does. Long nay they continue.

Beware can cause insomnia!

This was another great book from James Patterson. It was a bit different from the usual as the story involved his family going back to his hometown and discovering about his past. I felt it was a bit more involved and interesting than his usual novels and the loose ends all tied up at the finale. Great narration. Recommend.
