A thrilling spin-off of the bestselling Alex Cross series, featuring DC Metro Police Detective John Sampson.

Detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson must divide and conquer when they're sent to investigate two serious crimes.

In Washington DC, John Sampson stands in a crater in the middle of a street and calls in the bomb squad for a suspected terrorist attack.

In North Carolina, Alex Cross searches the apartment of a missing psychology grad student - his own son Damon. Has following in his famous father's footsteps made Damon a target?

From FBI headquarters to police stations, airplanes to murder scenes, the detectives track crimes committed hundreds of miles apart.

It will take more than distance to weaken their unstoppable partnership.
