What to expect

In this heart-pounding thriller from the world’s most popular storyteller, Detective Alex Cross and his beloved fiancé find themselves tangled in a complex murder investigation—threatening not only public safety, but their chance at happiness together. 

Inspiration for the thrilling Prime Video show, Cross.​


​Alex Cross is happy, but his happiness is threatened by a series of chilling murders—murders with a pattern so twisted, it leaves investigators reeling. Cross's ingenious pursuit of the killer produces a suspect: a British diplomat named Geoffrey Shafer.

But proving that Shafer is the murderer becomes a potentially deadly task. 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.
