Publisher's summary

The president's son and daughter are abducted, and Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene. But someone very high-up is using the FBI, Secret Service, and CIA to keep him off the case and in the dark.

A deadly contagion in the water supply cripples half of the capital, and Alex discovers that someone may be about to unleash the most devastating attack the United States has ever experienced.

As his window for solving both crimes narrows, Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes - one that may alter the fate of the entire country.

Kill Alex Cross is faster, more exciting, and more tightly wound than any Alex Cross thriller James Patterson has ever written!

Solve another case with Alex Cross.

Oh Mr Patterson - Get Back to your Best Stuff

Mr Patterson - too many helpers, co authors, too many cooks in the kitchen. You are losing your ... yes your (Mr Patterson) key ingredients and style. Alex Cross is so powerful and he too is being diluted too much.
Please get back to basics stop the assembly line "James Patterson and XXXXXXXXX"

Another Great Alex Cross

Narrator, Braugher, was so much better than he was in the last book. He had more energy, and his inflections were spot on! The two storylines kept my interest. I’m more interested in Alex’s personal life though since this is my second time around with the series. Unfortunately, for me, there’s not too much personal Alex going on in this book. I’m always excited whenever they even mention Christine, shes my favorite. Still hoping one day we get that rehabilitation arc for her that she deserves (fingers CROSSed LOL)!

Interesting

Another good mystery by James Patterson. It is difficult to stop listening to this story because the children that are missing are the President's children. Will they be found dead or alive?
