About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Discover the thrilling spin-off to the bestselling Alex Cross series... now the inspiration for the original series CROSS on Prime Video starring Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross.

Detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson must divide and conquer when they’re sent to investigate two serious crimes.

In Washington DC, John Sampson stands in a crater in the middle of a street and calls in the bomb squad for a suspected terrorist attack.

In North Carolina, Alex Cross searches the apartment of a missing psychology grad student – his own son Damon. Has following in his famous father’s footsteps made Damon a target?

From FBI headquarters to police stations, airplanes to murder scenes, the detectives track crimes committed hundreds of miles apart.

It will take more than distance to weaken their unstoppable partnership.

'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it' LEE CHILD

Good story. It seems nobody is checking the sound levels, it’s too quiet so the sound level gets turned up then all of a sudden the narrator is screaming!! Extremely poorly sound checked!!

Overall, one of his worst. Moved with modern times in the language, politics and content. If we’re to believe Sampson was in Afghanistan, we may as well forget the early books as the timeline wouldn’t match at all. From the first few chapters, I thought the story was weak, and it only got weaker.
