Cross Down

**In this #1 *New York Times* bestseller, Alex Cross is gravely injured and only his partner and friend John Sampson can keep him safe . . . and get justice.** For the first time, John Sampson is on his own. The brilliant crime-solving duo of Washington, DC’s, Metro PD and the FBI has a proven MO: Detective Alex Cross makes his own rules. Detective John Sampson enforces them. When military-style attacks erupt, brutally sidelining Cross, Sampson is sent reeling. *The patterns are too random* —Sampson’s friend, his partner, his *brother* —have told him. *Don’t trust anyone*. As a shadow force advances on the nation’s capital, Sampson alone must protect the Cross family, his own young daughter, and every American, including the president.
