Discover the latest gripping thriller in the globally bestselling Alex Cross series - now the inspiration for the original series CROSS on Prime Video starring Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross.
----------------------------
Alex Cross is a psychologist who hunts criminals for the FBI and the DC Metro Police.
Family matriarch Nana Mama is proud of the man she raised.
Though that doesn’t stop her worrying every time he ventures into the shadowy underworld of Washington DC – despite his promise to always be careful.
When a man is found shot and burned beneath an overpass, Cross is pulled into a brutal murder investigation.
But with every step closer to the truth, he risks breaking his promise to Nana Mama… and putting the entire Cross family in the line of fire.
