Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington, DC, Police Department when an unknown shooter gunned down his wife, Maria, in front of him. The killer was never found, and the case turned cold, filed among the unsolved drive-bys in D.C.'s rough neighborhoods. Years later, still haunted by his wife's death, Cross is making a bold move in his life. Now a free agent from the police and the FBI, he's set up practice as a psychologist once again. His life with Nana Mama, Damon, Jannie, and little Alex is finally getting in order. He even has a chance at a new love. Then Cross's former partner, John Sampson, calls in a favor. He is tracking a serial rapist in Georgetown, one whose brutal modus operandi recalls a case Sampson and Cross worked together years earlier. When the case reveals a connection to Maria's death, Cross latches on for the most urgent and terrifying ride of his life. From the man USA TODAY has called the "master of the genre," CROSS is the high-velocity thriller James Patterson and Alex Cross's fans have waited years to read - and the pinnacle of the bestselling detective series of the past two decades. This novel was originally published under the title Cross. The movie tie-in editions are published under the title Alex Cross. (less)

Nazývali ju Appassionata, hoci jej skutočné meno bolo Abigail Rosen. Bola najsexi a najflamboyantnejšou huslistkou na hudobnej scéne, obdivovanou fanúšikmi a túženou mužmi. Bola však aj osamelá a vykorisťovaná. Keď dramatický pokus o samovraždu zničí jej husľovú kariéru, rozhodne sa dobyť dirigentský pult. Abigail dostane šancu prevziať Rutminster Symphony Orchestra. Abby je nadšená, netušiac, že RSO je až po uši v dlhoch a pozostáva z najnepríjemnejšej skupiny hudobníkov, akí kedy hrali na husliach. Urobiť z tejto zmesi niečo, čo by sa podobalo skutočnému orchestru, si vyžaduje všetku jej silu, rovnako ako odolávať náporom Vikinga, fatálne pôvabného hráča na francúzsky roh. Sexy Cooperova bláznivosť v najzábavnejšej podobe.
