Shots ring out in the earlier morning hours in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. When the fumes clear, a well known police official sits dead, leaving behind the city's police force striving for answers. Under demand from the mayor, Alex Cross steps into the control vacuum to break the case. But before Cross can make any headway, a ferocious crime wave sweeps across the district. The deadly scenes share only one common thread—the victims are all criminals. And the only thing more risky than a murderer without a conscience, is a killer who thinks he has justice on his side. As Cross goes after an adversary who has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, he must take the law back into his own hands before the city he's sworn to protect descends into utter madness.
Cross the Line by James Patterson, the twenty-fourth book in the Alex Cross collection, is for die-hard followers of the sequence. As a long-time admirer of bestselling author James Patterson and a large, large lover of the Alex Cross collection, I’m pretty ecstatic about each new release and wanted each new chapter in the series to be a great one. I have been dissatisfied with some while most have kept me interested, and satisfied. And this latest inclusion to the series is a well-crafted one where our main character faces a complicated task with a crime wave sweeping all over Washington, DC.
In this newest Alex Cross thriller, a mystifying crime wave hits Washington, DC, with a high-ranking police official ending up as one of the victims. The police department is caught groping in the dark. Alex Cross and his wife Bree team up to find the killer. But both husband and wife finds their selves at odds at critical juncture, thereby impeding their work. When a vigilante group strikes with disastrous consequences, Alex Cross knew he has to tread meticulously and rapidly before it is too late. In due course Alex Cross’ sharp mind sees a pattern in the method of the killers focusing on victims who might have actually broken the law.
Cross the Line by James Patterson published in his true signature style is one that you just can't put down once you begin it. I loved the setting, the portrayal and the premise of the story. The book wrangles together what I would have considered a weird medley of plot themes – murder, mystery, domestic issues, vigilante, and unsolved crimes. This book has got two things right - a terrific plot and strong characters. It is interesting to see the ongoing growth of the characters in the series, which is a welcome sign that James Patterson has no intention of bringing it to an end. And I can’t seem to have enough of Alex Cross!
