A game of Life and Death. Sam Harrison (Jack) and Sara Rosen (Jill) delight in their board game that has photos of famous people; a simple roll of the dice determines their destiny.
When sixty-four-year-old Senator Daniel Fitzpatrick is found murdered, the FBI makes a formal request for Cross. The FBI is stymied. The code name for President Thomas Byrnes is Jack. The First Lady's is Jill.

Gripping mystery/thriller as always. Third in the Series. I cannot say enough about James Patterson or the Alex Cross series.

An Alex Cross novel. Someone is killing innocent children in the poor section of Washington and someone is stalking and killing celebraties in the capital city. Are the two related? Alex is pulled off the murder investigation of the children and is forced to be an investigator with the FBI on the celebrity stalkings. He is saddened by the lack of concern over the murders of the children in the poor section. How does he make the compromise?

Alex Cross is involved in 2 tough homicide cases. One is killeing the rich and famous. The other targets children near a Washington Elementary School. Both are riveting!

Someone has killed one of the most powerful men in the U.S. Senate--and the whole world is watching. Someone has murdered a small black girl on the mean streets of Washington--and no one seems to care. But only D.C. homicide cop Alex Cross suspects that the evil striking down both the high and the lowly wears the same shocking face.
