You can't run
Detective Alex Cross is pulled out of a family celebration and given the awful news that a beloved relative has been found brutally murdered. Alex vows to hunt down the killer, and soon learns that she was mixed up in one of Washington's wildest scenes. And she was not this killer's only victim.
You can't hide
The hunt for her murderer leads Alex and his girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, to a place where every fantasy is possible, if you have the credentials to get in. Alex and Bree are soon facing down some very important, very protected, very dangerous people in levels of society where only one thing is certain--they will do anything to keep their secrets safe.
Alex Cross is your only hope to stay alive
As Alex closes in on the killer, he discovers evidence that points to the unimaginable--a revelation that could rock the entire world. With the unstoppable action, unforeseeable twists, and edge-of-your-seat suspense that only a James Patterson thriller delivers, I, Alex Cross is the master of suspense at his sharpest and best.

"Quick read! Short crisp chapters, with not too much repetition. Scarey to think what people can do to other people, & what the government will do to protect their own. Like the carrot at the end to encourage readers to continue to follow Alex Cross. Enjoyable if murder, mayhem & nastiness is the reader's desire!"
— Caroline (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes

“Tim Cain and Michael Cerveris deliver top-notch performances as they expertly bring Patterson’s signature roller-coaster plotting and diverse cast of characters to life…Cain and Cerveris bring the listener along for the ride with strong conviction in their reading. A perfect book for a long drive.”
— Publishers Weekly (audio review) -
“Tim Cain and Michael Cerveris turn this great read into a virtual full-cast production with their exceptional pacing and seamless handoffs. They divide the African American and white characters between them and do an outstanding job on all the vocal types involved. There are also striking, though limited, sound effects, for instance, shooting scenes that even differentiate between gun calibers. Musical insertions are also excellent.”

“This book review filled me with suspicion. I truly believe that James Patterson has an IV hooked up to his writing arm and Great Ideas, Great Plots, and Great Characters dribble constantly into his bloodstream. How else could prolific Mr. Patterson come up—once again—with another blockbuster Alex Cross novel? I, Alex Cross crosses the line from good to great.”

" One of the better offerings from Patterson. He seems to have recovered his engaging style of old unlike some of his more recent efforts. The pace was good and there was a nice balance between the detecting and the personal life. Great ending, didn't see it coming. "
