Description

Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene of the biggest case he's ever been part of. The President's son and daughter have been abducted from their school - an impossible crime, but somehow the kidnapper has done it. Alex does everything he can but is shunted to the fringes of the investigation. Someone powerful doesn't want Cross too close. A deadly contagion in the DC water supply threatens to cripple the capital, and Alex sees the looming shape of the most devastating attack the United States has ever experienced. He is already working flat-out on the abduction, and this massive assault pushes Cross completely over the edge. With each hour that passes, the chance of finding the children alive diminishes. In an emotional private meeting, the First Lady asks Alex to please save her kids. But even the highest security clearance doesn't get him any closer to the kidnapper - and Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes in.

  • In this book Alex Cross had to deal with the kidnapping of the President's children and terrorist targeting the President's chain in command. At Alex's home life nana takes in a homeless 13 year old child. I liked the Cross series book.

  • I have long been a fan of James Patterson and have followed Alex Cross through his life and all of the Alex Cross books. Some Cross adventures are better than others, but this latest installment in the series was on a high note from beginning to end.When the president's children are kidnapped and acts of terrorism hit Washington, all stops are pulled out as the FBI, the CIA, and the police are called in to find the answers.Days pass by and Alex knows that the hope of finding those children alive decreases with each passing hour. Is the kidnapping related to the acts of terrorism or is it a completely separate incident?This is a well-paced and well-written book, and I devoured it in several hours.All Alex Cross fans will love this book. One of James Patterson's best!
