About this deal

But is he willing to sacrifice everything, including his morals, and ultimately his mind, to get his family back? Driven by feelings of hatred and revenge, Mulch is threatening to kill them all, and break Cross for ever. On his visits home, Alex must confront another, more harrowing mystery: what's the matter with Nana Mama?

No one in Washington is safe-not children, not politicians, not even the President of the United States. The killer has the whole city by its strings-and he'll stop at nothing to become the most terrifying star that Washington D. I have the sense that the 21st and 22nd installments of this successful series are more about profit than passion. House Cross finds itself back at square one, the same idyllic, perfect-world family whose problems always manage to wrap themselves up by the end of four hundred pages.The police turn up only one clue: a mysterious rhyme signed "Jack and Jill" promising that this is just the beginning. When he arrives in Eudora, Mississippi, Ben meets the wise Abraham Cross and his beautiful granddaughter, Moody.

As the diplomat engages in a brilliant series of surprising countermoves, in and out of the courtroom, Alex and his fiancée become hopelessly entangled with the most memorable nemesis Alex Cross has ever faced. So to allow you to read the book you have to start at the very last page and read the right hand page before the left hand page. They were some major holes in this one, but it was a great follow on to Cross My Heart, and I was well convinced that someone may be back on the market for a bit. But even he is appalled by the gruesome murders of two joggers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park-killings that look more like the work of savage beasts than humans.Alex comes out of the numb shock from the last book and goes into action to find his family before Mulch kills them one by one. Cross’s family-his loving wife Bree, the wise and lively Nana Mama, and his precious children-have been ripped away. The harder the investigators push, the more resistance they find when they leave behind the polite law offices and doctors' quarters of the state capital. Cross My Heart ended on quite the cliffhanger, with Alex Cross distraught and lost, so I was very eager to get my hands on Hope to Die. He’s not alone though, and has support from Ava, John Sampson and his allies in the FBI, making the book a compelling and engaging read.

As he explores the possibility of a new relationship with a woman who offers him new hope, Alex must also confront the fact that his beloved grandmother is only human. This is apparent as the story continues in the same vein and in the same JP trademark short chapters. Atticus Jones is a delightful character and Patterson introduces a new detective in Tessa Aalijah who proves quite resourceful.These two novels are linked, which is I think the first time Patterson has chosen to make consecutive novels a single story (not including the cross-book storyline featuring the Mastermind from the earlier books, although this is a similar idea, if shorter). While John Sampson of DC Metro Police investigates the last movements of Christopher Randall, the educator killed along with Kay Willingham, detective Alex Cross and FBI special agent Ned Mahoney find unanswered questions from Willingham's past, before she arrived in DC and became known in DC society as someone who could make things happen. Besides the flaws in police procedure, the under-played reaction of Cross to his situation and the total predictability of the story, there are too many facts that are just wrong. But the pictures may have been doctored, so with a few close allies, Alex is going to keep his hopes up, and try to find the madman that is haunting his every step. But someone very high-up is using the FBI, Secret Service, and CIA to keep him off the case and in the dark.
