Alex Cross is gravely injured. 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.
