About this audiobook

When the home of Alex Cross's oldest friend, Ellie Cox, is turned into the worst murder scene Alex has ever seen, the destruction leads him to believe that he's chasing a horrible new breed of killer. As Alex and his girlfriend, Brianna Stone, become entangled in the deadly Nigerian underworld of Washington D.C., what they discover is shocking: a stunningly organized gang of lethal teenagers headed by a powerful, diabolical man--the African warlord known as the Tiger. Just when the detectives think they're closing in on the elusive murderer, the Tiger disappears into thin air. Tracking him to Africa, Alex knows that he must follow. Alone.

From the author Time magazine has called "the man who can't miss," CROSS COUNTRY is the most heart-stopping, speed-charged, electrifying Alex Cross thriller yet.

Ratings and reviews

Of all the various series that I have read, this has to be the most horrific, scary, anxious causing one that I have ever listened to. The atrocities left nothing to the imagination. I almost didn't finish this book because it was too Intense. However, pushed forward to the end. How much of this is true or not I do not know. But I do know that James Patterson does good research from other stories he has written. It just shows the inhumanity of men, good versus evil. I know I will not be able to get some of these images out of my head for a long time. This is not a book for the Is faint of heart.
