Next, the elusive marksman begins picking off other crooked politicians, sparking a blaze of theories--is the marksman a hero or a vigilante?

The case explodes and FBI agent Max Siegel battles Alex for jurisdiction. As Alex struggles with the sniper, Siegel, and the wedding, he receives a call from his deadliest adversary, Kyle Craig. The Mastermind is in D.C. and will not relent until he has eliminated Cross--and his family--for good. With a supercharged blend of suspense, action, and deception, CROSS FIREis James Patterson's most exciting Alex Cross novel ever.

"Cross Fire had all the elements that I enjoy in an Alex Cross book. Mystery, intrigue, a balance between the Alex's role as a detective and as a family man, and above all an ending that does not leave me confused or wanting more. In Cross Fire Detective Cross once again finds himself involved in a serial murder case in D.C. He is also planning his wedding to Bree Stone. Oh, and his old nemesis, Kyle Craig is back in town. I thought that the book did a great job of balancing all the story lines and unlike some of the most recent Alex Cross books I have read, it didn't seem rushed at the end."

    " What do I think? I think James Patterson should have said good bye to Alex when he drove him over the cliff. The first books were great. I still recommend those to any one who enjoys a good mystery. But this is the last of my relationship with Alex Cross. "

    " Why do I keep on reading this series? The plots get more inane, the writing gets more pedantic, and I can see the outcome from a mile away. I could barely stand to finish this. "

    " I think this is another series that is getting a little long... Seems far fetched that this man (and his family) could be hunted down by a serial killer for 10 books, yet they are still alive and well. Still, it kept me interested with an easy to follow plot and LIKABLE characters! "
