Description
Criss Cross by James Patterson, the twenty-seventh instalment in this bestselling series, sees Alex Cross confronting a criminal from his past who threatens to frame him.
Could a ghost from his past take everything away from Alex Cross?
Only hours after witnessing the execution of a killer he helped put behind bars, Alex Cross is called to the scene of a copycat murder. A note signed 'M' rests on the corpse: 'You messed up big time, Dr. Cross.'
Was an innocent man just put to death? As the executed convict's family launches a vicious campaign against Cross, his abilities as a detective are called into question.
The enigmatic 'M' lures Cross out of Washington, DC, to the sites of multiple homicides, all marked with distressingly familiar details that conjure up decades-old cases and Cross family secrets.
Details that make it clear M is planning to destroy much more than Cross's reputation.
