Why is this one called Kill Alex Cross? This is one the few books where someone isn't trying to kill Alex the whole time... (

Good book, as usual but not one of my favorite Cross books. I love Cross though and cannot wait for the next one.

3.5 stars. The daughter and son of the President are kidnapped from their private school at the same time as husband/wife teams of Arab terrorists unleash war on Washington D.C. Alex is asked by the First Lady to help find her children. It is not clear whether the Arabs are behind the kidnapping or whether it is bad timing. Like most Alex Cross books, the true psycho slips away (for another book, no doubt.) (

The only way to stop Alex Cross...is to kill him. Detective Alex Cross is on the biggest case of his career. The president's son and daughter have been abducted from their school.

This harbinger of the most devastating attack in U.S. history could push him completely over the edge. With each hour that passes, the chance of finding the president's children alive diminishes. Now Alex must make a decision that goes against everything he believes...
