The chase spans continents, but the plot doesn't span the book. (  )1  mashley | Oct 27, 2009 | Cross Country is a good book for those looking for adventure. However, if you are looking for a believable read, this book is not for you. The book is packed full of adventure (no matter that the adventures/events are totally unbelievable) that keeps the reader interested until the end. I will not give a synopsis of the book here, as I fear I may spoil the plot. You must read to find out more about Alex Cross and the adventures he faces. (  ) historybuff1 | Oct 26, 2009 | Good action scenes but, not very believable. Hard to comprehend how a police psychologist traveling in a foreign country without local law enforcement assistance how Cross could escape as many life and death situations with only bruises and a broken nose (twice). Seemed more like a statement about the horrific acts in Africa rather than a murder mystery. I bought this one in paperback and gave it to the library when I finished. (  ) Brian55 | Oct 24, 2009 | One of Patterson's better stories! Fast pace strory that takes Cross to Africa in search of a merciless killer with more political connections than Alex can comprehend. Brutal story of the current political situation in Nigeria and the misery there that most of the world seems to ignore. A good part of this book hopes to enlighten the reader about this... but at the same time a very, very good read. (  ) MikeD | Oct 18, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
