About this listen

Detective Alex Cross is on his way to resign from the Washington, DC police force when his partner shows up at his door with a case he can't refuse. One of John Sampson's oldest friends, from their days together in Vietnam, has been arrested for murder. Worse yet, he is subject to the iron hand of the United States Army. The evidence against him is strong enough to send him to the gas chamber.

Sampson is certain his friend has been framed, and Alex's investigation turns up evidence overlooked - or concealed - by the military authorities. Drawing on their years of street training and an almost telepathic mutual trust, Cross and Sampson go deep behind military lines to confront the most ruthless - and deadliest - killers they have ever encountered. Behind these three highly skilled killing machines there appears to be an even more threatening controller. Discovering the identity of this lethal genius will prove to be Cross' most terrifying challenge ever.

On his visits home, Alex must confront another, more disturbing mystery: what's the matter with Nana Mama? As he explores the possibility of a relationship with a woman who offers him new hope, Alex must also face the fact that his beloved grandmother is only human.

Critic reviews

"Everything clicks in this novel, from Patterson's patented short chapters to the whiplash plotting." (Publishers Weekly)
"Patterson delivers another exciting thriller, with some intriguing new developments for [Alex] Cross." (Booklist)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Intriguing Plot • Shocking Revelations • Excellent Narration • Compelling Hero • Unexpected Twists • Clear Performance

Enjoyed most of this one...but the extended "love scenes" and some of the storyline would have been much more enjoyable - without.

Next Patterson novel with be abridged for me.

I thought I had read all of the Alex Cross series but guess I skipped this one. They never disappoint.

Love this book

I like Alex Cross. I loved the earlier stories, but after Roses are Red, I swore I would never, ever read another James Patterson book. It's an addiction. I read Violets are Blue, a slight redemption, but I was still borderline. Beach House was adequate, and the new series, 1st to Die and 2nd Chance were an interesting change. Four Blind Mice is a good book, ill-timed storyline, but such is life. I find myself looking forward to some more enjoyable quick reads/listens from Patterson (what is it, every six months?)....

Infinitely better than recent Alex Cross stories

The music during some of the scenes completely ruined it. It was too loud and very distracting. We don't need a sexy saxophone playing during love scenes to get the picture, or creepy midnight crickets and woodland noise to know we're in the woods.

I listened to the book over a period of a couple of weeks while flying between BWI and Florida. First time in my life that I was fervently hoping for a delay to the flight so that I could listen some more. The suspense is outstanding. The love scenes are OK, but about as good as Tom Clancy (if you know what I mean).

The plot develops nicely and has quite a few twists and turns. I could not predict what the ending would be, although I was teased by the foreshadowing.

Great for Flying

I couldn't stop listening and even when I thought I knew what would come next, I was surprised yet again!

Disturbing yet captivating

I am so confused on the hate that this book is getting. It was a good read! I liked it a lot. It was a little more violent than his past novels, with a horrible rape scene, but, this is the nature of the book. If you don't like the violence, don't pick up the Cross series. This was a good book....

Intriguing at first, but after about 1/2 way through, the violence seemed to go on and on and on... This while Patterson has also rather lengthy and seemingly unrelated digressions into the detectives' romantic lives. They're taking days off while more people are getting killed! Still, has its moments and the narration is excellent...

Too Long, Too Much Violence
