Cross Down: An Alex Cross and John Sampson Thriller By James Patterson And Brendan DuBois

In this gripping #1 New York Times bestseller, Alex Cross, the seasoned detective, faces a dire challenge, leaving his partner and friend, John Sampson, to step into an unfamiliar role as the guardian of justice.

The dynamic crime-fighting duo, known for their unorthodox methods in Washington, DC's Metro PD and the FBI, is thrown into disarray when a series of military-style attacks incapacitates Alex Cross. With Cross sidelined, John Sampson must navigate the treacherous landscape alone, enforcing rules that were once upheld together.

As the nation reels from the seemingly random and brutal onslaught, Sampson is left with a stark warning from those close to him: trust no one. The assailants operate with a disturbing lack of pattern, targeting not only Sampson but also those he holds dear—his friend, his partner, even his brother.

A shadowy force advances upon the nation's capital, and Sampson finds himself thrust into a role that demands protecting the Cross family, his own daughter, and every American citizen, including the president. The tension rises as he grapples with the urgency of securing justice while deciphering the enigmatic motives behind the orchestrated chaos.

With relentless pace and unyielding suspense, this thriller unfolds a high-stakes battle, where trust is a scarce commodity, and the line between friend and foe blurs in the face of an imminent threat to the nation's security.

In this thrilling narrative, Patterson masterfully weaves a tale of suspense, betrayal, and resilience, showcasing the indomitable spirit of those who stand against the shadows to safeguard the fabric of society. 📚❤️
