Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The 18th novel in the best-selling Alex Cross series.

The President's children have been kidnapped. Detective Alex Cross faces a ticking clock.

Detective Alex Cross grapples with an impossible crime and mounting political pressure. But this is only the beginning as a deadly contaminant in the Washington DC water supply cripples the city.

Alex soon realises that the stakes are much higher - America is under attack.

Tasked by the desperate First Lady with finding her children, Alex races against the clock and must make a decision that goes against everything he believes in if he's to save them.

a bit disappointed!

I didn't enjoy this as much as some of the others. It got a bit bogged down in technology and periferal stuff to the detriment and neglect of the personalities involved. James, lets get back to Alex, his wife and his life within the plot and a bit more involvement and empathy with the victims would have made for a more interesting read/listen.

Fast paced action, suspense & excellent narration.

This book is hard to put down. It engages the reader from start to finish. A polished production and narration that I found very appealing have induced me to immediately start my next Alex Cross adventure.
