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

Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read.

James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. -- STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series
