When the home of Alex Cross's oldest friend, Ellie Cox, is turned into the worst murder scene Alex has ever seen, the destruction leads him to believe that he's chasing a horrible new breed of killer. As Alex and his girlfriend, Brianna Stone, become entangled in the deadly Nigerian underworld of Washington D.C., what they discover is shocking: a stunningly organized gang of lethal teenagers headed by a powerful, diabolical man--the African warlord known as the Tiger. Just when the detectives think they're closing in on the elusive murderer, the Tiger disappears into thin air. Tracking him to Africa, Alex knows that he must follow. Alone.

From the author Time magazine has called "the man who can't miss," CROSS COUNTRY is the most heart-stopping, speed-charged, electrifying Alex Cross thriller yet.©2008 James Patterson (P)2008 Hachette Audio Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Murder Crime Africa Fiction Scary

Ok all. I have been listening to this whole series from beginning to end and I’m enjoying all of the stories. My only problem is he falls in love with every woman in every story and it’s getting old.
Other than that enjoy, they are great stories

Great series

I've been listening to the Cross series in order. some are definitely better than others. This one has had the weakest plot line so far. It was too unrealistic, and the typical Patterson fillers (i.e., Nana, Alex's fairy-tale interactions with his kids, overly-detailed love scenes) only made the story drag even more. Skip

Too unrealistic

James Patterson truly out does himself in this Alex Cross adventure. He takes our most nightmarish fears of international crimes and espionage, and brings it home to us in this tale of true crime war between the good and evil.
I was left energized by Cross's constant will to fight for justice from out nation's Capitol to darkest Africa, driven and fueled by blood thirsty mercenaries, corrupt industry and government agencies, and human greed. And, I was deeply humbled by what is actually the inconvenient truth about the still ongoing hellish brutality happening in Africa; but not here.
James Patterson is a truly exceptional writer and story teller.
If there was a mystery writer that has inspired me write crime novels? It would James Patterson.
Five stars all around. And, two thumbs up.

Alex Cross really catches the Tiger by the toe

if you have made it this far in the series maybe you too could feel the same way. cross should of died and his family for the choices he makes in this book.

its frustrating how he's constantly saying how could this happen to my family (throughout the series)

and the epilogue that ties everything up with a nice bow with just a, oh by the way I did all this detective work that is going to go un-written and would have been. probably, more interesting than the material you just read up till that point.

it was so bad I'm on the fence about giving it an alternate ending, cross dies in Africa. and the series ends there.

(yes I'm a fan of the series, which is why its frustrating. this "normal" detective foils danger that topples governments.. what's next... cross vs demone from the underworld?! keep it local... keep it believably)

Easily the worst yet

As much as I enjoy the Dr. Cross series, I have to say this book did not live up to expectations. I mean - good grief, why would the author take a seemingly intelligent character and dumb him down? Cross has no knowledge of or authority in Nigeria, but travels there unprepared and acts indignant when he receives no cooperation. Duh! Then there is the continual "beating up" of Dr. Cross which is really tiresome. Not the author's best work.

Cross takes a dive

Book at times drags along... It is intense in typical Alex Cross character... Only recommend for those of us who are familiar with Alex Cross's character

Precurser to What?

Hated the music and the overly dramatic narration. Good story as most Alex Cross novels are.

Good Storyline

I absolutely love the Alex Cross series, have been a huge fan since the beginning. However, this is the most agonizing and heartbreaking book I have ever read(listen to). If you are a empathetic person in the least but, DO NOT READ THIS ONE! Just skip it and go to the next in line.

Heartbreaking
