Synopsis
Discover the classic thriller that launched the #1 detective series and is the inspiration for the original series Cross on Prime Video! Alex Cross is a homicide detective with a Ph.D. in psychology. He works and lives in Southeast D.C. and looks like Muhammad Ali in his prime. He's a tough guy from a tough part of town who wears Harris Tweed jackets and likes to relax by banging out Gershwin tunes on his baby grand piano. But he also has two adorable kids of his own, and they are his own special vulnerabilities. Jezzie Flanagan is the first woman ever to hold the highly sensitive job as supervisor of the Secret Service in Washington. Blond, mysterious, seductive, she's got an outer shell that's as tough as it is beautiful. She rides her black BMW motorcycle at speeds of no less than 100 mph. What is she running from? What is her secret? Alex Cross and Jezzie Flanagan are about to have a forbidden love affair-at the worst possible time for both of them. Because Gary Soneji, who wants to commit the "crime of the century," is playing at the top of his game. Soneji has outsmarted the FBI, the Secret Service, and the police. Who will be his next victim? Gary Soneji is every parent's worst nightmare. He has become Alex Cross's nightmare.

    Reasonable shipping cost. The book was packaged in two polymailer bags without solid support to keep it from getting bent, but still arrived in good condition as described.

    The seller addressed my concerns after our communication. The condition of the book I got was not the same as described on eBay. The seller has been responsible and responsive. I will buy from this seller again in the future.

    Way Too Gruesome

    I just loved all 15 of Patterson's The Womens Murder Club, so thought I would love them all. Started collecting them and reading but soon found out they were much to much horrid details regarding the murders and mutilation of bodies....They were compelling but I didn't like the feelings I was left with when I put the book down. Sorry and I am sure there is a tremendous audience out there for him, I just can't handle it.
