The House of Cross

The thirty-second instalment in James Patterson's globally bestselling Alex Cross series.

It's time to put the guns down, Detective Cross. Even if you knew the way out of this place, we would catch you.

A serial killer is taking out America's finest legal minds, and Alex Cross is called to investigate their brutal murders. But during a dangerous mission to track down the killer, his wife, Bree, and best friend, John Sampson, go missing.

To save the people he loves most, Cross has only three goals:

• Number one: Find Bree and John.
• Number two: Escape.
• Number three: Survive.

If he fails, there will be no one left in the The House of Cross.

Praise for the Alex Cross series

Patterson never, and I mean never, disappoints - USA Today

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

Alex Cross is a legend - Harlan Coben

Alex Cross ... only gets better and better - Lisa Scottoline

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

Alex Cross has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages - Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
