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

The kidnapper's identity is quickly determined as one of the children's teachers. But capturing him is the true challenge.

As Cross gets pulled deeper into the strange world of the kidnapper, it becomes clear he is far more dangerous than anyone could have anticipated.

Readers can't get enough of Alex Cross...

***** 'I've read this two, maybe three, times over the years. It's a gripping tale and a fantastic start to the series.'
***** '5 Stars. I couldn't stop reading. It's that good. What a debut.'
***** 'This was an excellent read! A great start to the Alex Cross series and a real page-turner!'
***** 'Wow, what a fantastic thriller with lots of twists and turns that I never saw coming.'

Brilliantly terrifying! So exciting that I had to stay up all night to finish it! Packed with white-knuckle twists. * DAILY MAIL *
An incredibly suspenseful read with a one-of-a-kind villain who is as terrifying as he is intriguing. One of the best thrillers of the year.
I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed.
Terror and suspense that grab the reader and won't let go. Just try running away from this one.
[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. -- DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD
