Cross the Line (Paperback) James Patterson

You can only push Alex Cross so far. After shots pierce the nighttime calm of Rock Creek Park, a man lies dead. What looks at first like road rage might be something much more sinister. Alex has only just begun asking questions when he's called to investigate a new murder: Washington's own chief of detectives--Alex's former boss and beloved mentor of Alex's wife, Bree. Now there's a killer on the loose, a long list of possible suspects, a city in panic, and nobody in charge of the gesieged police force. Until Bree gets tapped for the job. What should be a time for her to rely on Alex for support and cooperation turns into a moment of crisis in their marriage when their investigative instincts clash. But the fiendish mind behind all the violence has a terrifying master plan he's only begun to put in motion. To beat him at his own game, Alex and Bree must take the law back into their own hands before they're both put out of commission...permanently. May 2024
