A thrilling spin-off of the fan favourite Alex Cross series and Sunday Times bestseller, featuring DC Metro Police Detective John Sampson.

Detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson must divide and conquer when they’re sent to investigate two serious crimes.

In Washington DC, John Sampson stands in a crater in the middle of a street and calls in the bomb squad for a suspected terrorist attack.

In North Carolina, 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 to police stations, airplanes to murder scenes, the detectives track crimes committed hundreds of miles apart.

It will take more than distance to weaken their unstoppable partnership.

'Alex Cross is a legend' HARLAN COBEN

'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
