Along Came a Spider
Along Came a Spider
A horrific crime shatters the tranquillity of Washington DC’s elite private school when two children are abducted. Detective Alex Cross is assigned the daunting task of finding the missing children and bringing their kidnapper to justice. As the investigation unfolds, Cross soon identifies the kidnapper as one of the children’s teachers. However, capturing him proves to be a far more complex and perilous challenge than anyone could have anticipated. The deeper Cross delves into the kidnapper's twisted psyche, the more he realises the immense danger posed by this disturbed individual.
Patterson masterfully weaves a narrative filled with suspense, psychological depth, and unexpected twists. Along Came a Spider was adapted into an exciting Amazon Prime series, starring Aldis Hodge as the illustrious Alex Cross, introducing this gripping story to a new audience.
With his expertise in writing fast-paced, intricate thrillers, James Patterson creates an unforgettable experience in Along Came a Spider. The novel not only highlights Cross's intellectual prowess and emotional resilience but also immerses readers in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game that keeps them on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
