Product Description:
When the home of Alex Cross's oldest friend, Ellie Cox, is turned into the worst murder scene Alex has ever seen, the destruction leads him to believe that he's chasing a horrible new breed of killer. As Alex and his girlfriend, Brianna Stone, become entangled in the deadly Nigerian underworld of Washington D.C., what they discover is shocking: a stunningly organized gang of lethal teenagers headed by a powerful, diabolical man--the African warlord known as the Tiger. Just when the detectives think they're closing in on the elusive murderer, the Tiger disappears into thin air. Tracking him to Africa, Alex knows that he must follow. Alone.
From the author Time magazine has called "the man who can't miss," CROSS COUNTRY is the most heart-stopping, speed-charged, electrifying Alex Cross thriller yet.

This book is so implausible it should be reviewed as a fantasy. The entire Nigerian portion of this book is unbelievable. Cross would never have made it out alive. Additionally, he keeps chasing the killer without any plan as to what would happen once he found him.
Once again the book uses the same old story line, "Cross's family is in danger." How many times is Patterson going to use this dribble.
This book does not come close to the other Cross novels. Don't waste ... Read More

I have read many of James Patterson's books, and I know what I'm getting. A well written book that will end weakly with the criminal mastermind getting away,. and Cross vowing revenge. I don't have unusually high standards, but this book was a joke.
The premise of the main crime is a nigerian hired killer, a huge powerful psychopath who is paid to not only kill, but with his merry gang of 13 year old thugs, but to dismember the entire families of the intended victims. So.. if you know ... Read More

If you are new to the Alex Cross series, don't start here. It is not one of the better books in the series.
I'll start with the improbable: The Alex Cross we have known since the beginning of this series never would have done what he did in this book. He just never would have decided to chase a killer to Nigeria with no identifying information about the killer other than his accent and no contacts other than the name of a local CIA agent. He didn't even contact Homeland Security to ... Read More

I was really looking forward to the next installment in the Cross series. His last book left me eagerly awaiting the new book. Had a good cliffhanger, that unfortunately was never even brought up in a coherent way in the new book. I agree with the others that Alex seems to have completely lost common sense in this book. Really putting himself in absurdly dangerous situations with a devil may care attitude. I never fully understood what was driving him in this book. In the last book I understood ... Read More

Cross country.....bad bad bad. How can I get my money back?
I also notice that the only positive reviews here are from people not prepared to use their real name. Must be a lot of vested interests trying to keep James Patterson on the book shelves.
I wish I had read the reviews before wasting my money.
