Synopsis
Alex Cross enters the final showdown with the relentless killer who has stalked him and his family for years.
Dr. Alex Cross and Detective John Sampson venture into the rugged Montana wilderness—where they will be the prey. They’re not on the job, but on a personal mission.
Until they’re attacked by two rival teams of assassins, controlled by the same mastermind who has stalked Alex and his family for years.
Darkness falls. The river churns into rapids. Shots ring out through the forest.
No backup. No way out. Fear no evil.
Another installment in the Alex Cross series! Unfortunately, this one didn't really do it for me like most of the others have.
The parts that were most interesting to me were when it flashed to Bree on her new job assignment in Paris. I love to see her character going down a different path from where she had been with DC Metro.
Other than that, Alex and John were being hunted down by rival groups. But it didn't make much sense to me that they would be coming after them as hard as they were. And a lot of that storyline seemed to . . . out there and unrealistic to me. Even for a fiction novel.
I was also angry that John's dream vacation got ruined.
This was a book I just powered through because I care about the characters. It definitely wasn't a gem in the Alex Cross series.
3/5 stars
