Alex Cross - Libro en Inglés

Alex Cross – James Patterson

Alex Cross, the Washington, D.C., detective and psychologist created by James Patterson, is one of the most popular heroes in crime fiction. This novel, published as Alex Cross to tie in with the film starring Tyler Perry and originally titled Cross, takes Alex back to the darkest moment of his life: the murder of his wife, Maria, years earlier.

The story moves between the past and the present. In the past, Alex is a young detective investigating a series of brutal attacks on women when Maria is shot and killed in front of him, a crime that has never been solved. In the present, Alex has left the FBI and returned to private practice as a psychologist, devoting more time to his family, including his children and his grandmother, Nana Mama. But when his former partner, John Sampson, asks for help with a new string of attacks, Alex is drawn back into a hunt that leads him toward the man he believes killed Maria.

The killer, a ruthless professional hit man with connections to organized crime, is a cold and terrifying adversary, known for his brutality. As Alex closes in, the case becomes deeply personal, and he must confront his grief, his desire for revenge and the danger to those he loves.

Fast-paced, with Patterson’s trademark short chapters and cliffhangers, the novel offers both a gripping thriller and an emotional exploration of Alex’s past.

Alex Cross will appeal to fans of crime thrillers and readers who follow the Alex Cross series. It contains graphic violence, sexual violence and disturbing themes.
