Publisher Description
If Alex Cross stops running, he will die . . . three serial killers are on the loose, and they want revenge.
A young woman is found hanging from a sixth-floor window, and Alex is called to the scene. The victim recently gave birth, but the baby is nowhere to be found. Before Alex can begin searching for the missing newborn and killer, he's called to investigate a second crime. All of Washington, D.C., is in a panic, and when a third body is discovered, rumours of three serial killers send the city into an all-out frenzy.
Alex's investigations are going nowhere, and he's too focused on the cases to notice that someone has been watching him-and will stop at nothing until he's dead. With white-hot speed, relentless drama, and hairpin turns, Alex Cross, Run is James Patterson's ultimate thrill ride.

"Yet another great storyline with Alex Cross and his family in crisis. I just wish Patterson would make these longer and a bit more in depth. Alls good though. I love alex cross and his daily turmoils at a detective/ psychological whatever he is. Keep the books coming Patterson!"

" Couldn't put it down. Another Patterson great! Can't wait to read the next one and also get my hands on the next women's murder club book! "
— Amygal, 2/11/2014 -
" Always such terrible writing, but an easy quick read nonetheless. "
— Biergl, 2/11/2014 -
" Spoiler alert. Once again Alex Cross and family confront an attack on the family and a death of a person close to them! This book had non-stop action with three active plots. I am wondering if we will see Dr. Creme and Ava come back in some future books. "
— Robert, 2/9/2014 -
" One of my favorite characters is Alex Cross. The only problem with this latest book in his series is that I finished it too quickly. I am already looking forward to the next Alex Cross book. "
— Pat, 2/2/2014 -
" The previous few Alex Cross books have been a little light on the content and didn't engage me like his originals. This one I am happy to say was one of his best. I read the whole book in two days. It was very satisfying to be that interested again. "
— Linda, 1/24/2014 -
" The end came too quick. there were some questions left unanswered....I mean, you can fill in the blanks, but some story as to what happened would be great. "
— Carole, 1/20/2014 -
" I always enjoy James Patterson's Alex Cross reads! "
— Evelyn, 1/8/2014 -
" I have not enjoyed the recent Alex Cross books nearly as much as Patterson's earlier ones features this character. The three concurrent story lines in this book, while not confusing, seemed to keep Patterson from fully developing any of them fully. "
— Wykoffp, 1/7/2014 -
" This was a typical James Patterson book. I thought it was "okay" but didn't love it. There were too many villains and not enough intrigue. "
— Donna, 12/25/2013 -
" Love Alex Cross!!! This was a great read!! "
— Ann, 12/25/2013 -
" Oooo I love the roller coaster which is Alex Cross. "
— Roselle, 12/12/2013 -
" The pressures of tracking killers has hit close to Alexs home in this one. Enjoyable series and characters. "
— Ellen, 12/3/2013 -
" A good quick read. Not as suspenseful or interesting as some of the previous ones. Supposedly Patterson actually wrote this one himself. Maybe he's lost some of his edge since he started outsourcing so much writing. "
— Ryann, 11/5/2013 -
" Enjoyed the Alex ride - wasn't pleased with some changes made but overall, it was a great read. "
— Audrey, 9/2/2013 -
" Great build, but ended flat. "
— Tracy, 7/25/2013 -
" Another awesome Alex Cross book! "
— Danielle, 7/21/2013 -
" I have every book James has written and like most fans prefer the ones he writes solo. This one appears to be as good as his originals but does not quite seem to 'get there' it was a god read but for me seemed to end a bit suddenly. "
— Diana, 7/5/2013 -
" I truly enjoyed this Alex Cross book. "
— Jeneen, 6/22/2013 -
" Finally felt like the old Alex Cross, not the whiny one from the last few books. Although parts of the book made me mad. "
— Sonia, 5/20/2013 -
" One of James Patterson's better recent books! "
— Heather, 5/14/2013 -
" While I appreciate the customary short chapters and the large than average print, this book had too many story lines and characters that did not grab my attention. I don't know why I keep giving James Patterson another chance with Alex Cross. I think this was the end......... "
— Pam, 4/17/2013 -
" I love James Patterson...I enjoy getting lost in his thrilling rides! "
