Publisher's summary

Alex Cross chases a cold-blooded killer with a conscience.

Shots ring out in the early morning hours in the suburbs of Washington, DC. When the smoke clears, a prominent police official lies dead, leaving the city's police force scrambling for answers. Under pressure from the mayor, Alex Cross steps into the leadership vacuum to crack the case. But before Cross can make any headway, a brutal crime wave sweeps across the region. The deadly scenes share only one common thread: The victims are all criminals. And the only thing more dangerous than a murderer without a conscience is a killer who thinks he has justice on his side.

As Cross pursues an adversary who has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, he must take the law back into his own hands before the city he's sworn to protect descends into utter chaos.

BEWARE!!!

Would you try another book from James Patterson and/or Ryan Vincent Anderson and Pete Bradbury ?

Go back to the old narrators!! These narrators were terrible as I could not associate them with the characters I am use to hearing.

Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson again?

Yes

Have you listened to any of Ryan Vincent Anderson and Pete Bradbury ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

If these were the narrators - no

Any additional comments?

I am use to the old voices and this threw the total book out of wack!

Just okay

I most enjoy a book when I'm exercising. It certainly helps with the mundane chore, however I've discovered that when listening to an audio book at this time, my mind can wander if the book is not really gripping my attention. This book did not have the grip. It was just okay.

Decent story, disappointing Narration

I thought it was a decent story but I was disappointed by the intermittent changes in narration. I didn’t mind different readers but the sudden sound effects and music were a distraction. I prefer good narrators with no music or sound effects.

Cross the Line......a must read.

This is a great story...plenty of suspense and a lot of twists and turns. I could not stop reading until I finished it.
