Publisher Description

In the latest thriller from the world's most popular storyteller, detective partners Alex Cross and John Sampson are called to separate locations to investigate a pair of serious crimes. Stream Season 2 of the #1-rated Cross in February 2026!

In Washington, DC, Metro PD detective John Sampson stands in a crater in the middle of a DC street, calling in the bomb squad. "Dispatch, this is Sampson. Contact the FBI and the ATF. We've got a suspected terrorist attack here."

In Chapel Hill, NC, Alex Cross searches the apartment of a missing psychology grad student—his own son Damon. Has following in his famous father's footsteps made Damon a target?

From FBI headquarters, in police stations, on airplanes, and at murder scenes, the detectives track crimes committed hundreds of miles apart. It will take more than distance to weaken the partnership of Sampson & Cross.
