Publisher's summary

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Alex Cross is gravely injured and only his partner and friend John Sampson can keep him safe . . . and get justice.

For the first time, John Sampson is on his own.

The brilliant crime-solving duo of Washington, DC’s, Metro PD and the FBI has a proven MO: Detective Alex Cross makes his own rules. Detective John Sampson enforces them.

When military-style attacks erupt, brutally sidelining Cross, Sampson is sent reeling. The patterns are too random—Sampson’s friend, his partner, his brother—have told him. Don’t trust anyone.

As a shadow force advances on the nation’s capital, Sampson alone must protect the Cross family, his own young daughter, and every American, including the president.

Another great Cross& Sampson story.

A little too drawn out for my listening pleasure. But I missed Alex Cross a lot.

Awesome

This book holds many truths in real time history. Scary at times and amusing at others. This book makes you take a look at was has happen in the last couple of years and makes you wonder if our government is heading in the same direction. I can’t wait for the next book. Great read you never loose interest.

Magnificent

Action packed!!!!!! From the beginning all the way to the end. My only issue is the part when they used an altered filter voice-over. It is hard to understand and to make out the words. outside of that, it's about time John Sampson got his shine. And wow, did he ever shine brightly. Love it!!

Cross Brown

Ultimately one the best books in the Alex Cross series.

Samson held his own in narrating and keep the suspense without being predictable. I love it.

Will Sampson reach the White House in time?

A riveting story describing how one man persevered to save not only family but his country. Many twists and turns are navigated before Sampson is able to put all the clues together and bring the bad guys to justice.edit
