Could a ghost from his past take everything away from Alex Cross?

Only hours after witnessing the execution of a killer he helped put behind bars, Alex Cross is called to the scene of a copycat murder. A note signed 'M' rests on the corpse: 'You messed up big time, Dr. Cross.'

Was an innocent man just put to death? As the executed convict's family launch a vicious campaign against Cross, his abilities as a detective are called into question.

The enigmatic 'M' lures Cross out of Washington, DC to the sites of multiple homicides, all marked with distressingly familiar details that conjure up decades-old cases and Cross family secrets.

Details that make it clear M is planning to destroy much more than Cross's reputation.

Ratings and reviews

Disappointing. these lines are getting a bit repetitive , the phsyco hunting the Cross family, being caught, then escaping. the story started well but then got back into the Craig issue, and now there's another one!

Thought 'M' was going to haunt Dr Cross forever and thats how it turns out as a message through wicker ends the book.

Sorry I bought this book
