The fourteenth book in the bestselling Alex Cross series

A killer’s trail leads Detective Alex Cross to Africa – and a whole new world of danger.

Called in to investigate a massacre in Washington D.C., Alex Cross is shocked to discover an old friend among the victims. Furious and devastated, he sets out to get justice.

The lethal D.C. underworld leads him to the Niger Delta, where the heroin and slave trades are rife, and to the terrifying, psychopathic perpetrator of the massacre: the Tiger.

But nothing is what it seems, and as Cross travels deeper into this dangerous world of corruption and conspiracy, his own survival is on the line…

Critic reviews

[Cross Country] opens with one of the most chilling murder scenes I've read in a long time ... High-octane stuff (DAILY EXPRESS)
It was absolutely fantastic ... Cross Country has an amazing sense of speed, there's a really brilliant tension in the plot ... You're just completely engrossed in it from start to finish ... The story is unrelentingly exciting (THE SIMON MAYO SHOW, BBC Radio 5 Live)
Heart-stopping, speed-charged, and electrifying, Cross Country is a stunning thriller from "the man who can't miss. (TIME)
It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page ... Simply put: Nobody does it better. (JEFFERY DEAVER)
Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that 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, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
James Patterson is The Boss. End of. (IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series)
I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed. (NELSON DEMILLE)
Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative, so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that ... James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series)
[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. (DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD)
Alex Cross is a legend. (HARLAN COBEN)

Like the different as no serial killer as such. The story was page turned chapters. But the 150 chapters... Why?

The story is a good idea as the coutries in Africa or another, in the 70a were dangerous places to be in.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Well spent, yes - passes time doing long drives

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I feel in the last few books, Alex's family take a backseat - when abroad, he hardly contacts them! Don't like the fact he nearly cheats on Bree - I don't think Alex as a character would do that?

What about Peter J Fernandez and Dion Graham ’s performance did you like?

The Nigerian voices

Was Cross Country worth the listening time?

Yes - it is a compelling story - though I was disappointed with the end

Any additional comments?

Enjoyable - but not one of his best. It was good as it was so different - set in Africa - and harrowing at start when Alex first arrives. Loses something halfway through though......a few too many kidnaps!! Seems so unreal the 3rd time he is kidnapped (as if he would be with all the police watching his house?!)

OK
