Book SynopsisCould 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 launch 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.

I love the crime thriller author James Patterson’s Alex Cross series. It’s quite different from the day job and gives me a chance to escape * Belfast Telegraph *
It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... 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.
James Patterson is The Boss. End of.
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.
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.
Alex Cross is a legend.
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.
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.
Patterson is in a class by himself.
