Along Came a Spider
Action packed
Possibly Patterson's best. He paved the way for a blockbuster of a movie with this action packed, gripping Alex Cross mystery.
Hannah Mulligan Ward at Woking

Synopsis

NOW THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES 'CROSS' ON PRIME VIDEO

The legendary thriller that launched the Alex Cross phenomenon

_________________________________

Two children have been kidnapped from an elite private school in Washington DC, and Detective Alex Cross is charged with finding them.

The kidnapper's identity is quickly determined as one of the children's teachers. But capturing him is the true challenge.

As Cross gets pulled deeper into the strange world of the kidnapper, it becomes clear he is far more dangerous than anyone could have anticipated.
