About This Audiobook
Detective Alex Cross finds himself confronting an unprecedented nightmare when a series of brutal crimes stretches across the country from North Carolina to California. When his own niece vanishes in Chapel Hill, the investigation becomes deeply personal for the forensic psychologist.
