Numa noite de festa, Alex Cross recebe uma notícia chocante O detetive está comemorando seu aniversário quando atende a um telefonema informando que sua sobrinha, Caroline Cross, foi brutalmente assassinada. Ele jura que vai capturar o criminoso e logo descobre que Caroline estava envolvida com prostituição e não foi a única vítima. Garotas de um clube privativo desaparecem misteriosamente Atrás de pistas do assassino, Alex e a namorada, a detetive Brianna Stone, vão a um lugar onde é possível realizar qualquer fantasia, desde que se conheçam as pessoas certas para entrar. É lá que um homem misterioso e de gosto excêntrico, autodenominado Zeus, sacia seus desejos. Um mistério que pode abalar o mundo Alex e Bree percebem que terão que enfrentar figuras muito importantes, perigosas e bem protegidas, das mais altas esferas da sociedade. E uma coisa é certa: elas farão de tudo para manter seus segredos. **** Alex Cross está comemorando seu aniversário com a família e os amigos quando toca o telefone. Seria apenas mais uma ligação inconveniente de trabalho não fosse a notícia bombástica: Caroline Cross, sobrinha do detetive, foi brutalmente assassinada. Com o apoio de sua namorada, a detetive Brianna Stone, Cross se lança às investigações, determinado a encontrar e punir os responsáveis pela morte da sobrinha. A primeira coisa que ele descobre é desconcertante. Caroline trabalhava como garota de programa. Logo Cross fica sabendo que outras moças e rapazes envolvidos com prostituição também estão desaparecidos. Em meio aos pertences de alguns deles, o detetive encontra sequências de letras anotadas, todas muito parecidas. Ele decifra o código e percebe que as sequências revelam números de telefone de pessoas famosas e poderosas. É assim que chega ao Blacksmith Farms, um clube privativo de altíssimo luxo na Virgínia. Um dos clientes mais assíduos é um misterioso homem conhecido apenas como Zeus. Ele mantém exclusivamente para si a suíte VIP do clube, que custa a partir de 20 mil dólares a diária. Quem poderia bancar um luxo daqueles? Quando é convocado a contar tudo o que sabe a um dos principais agentes do Serviço Secreto, o detetive começa a desconfiar que está envolvido em algo muito maior do que havia imaginado. Cross terá que trabalhar sozinho e às escondidas para encontrar os assassinos de sua sobrinha e evitar que um grande caso de acobertamento impeça que seja feita justiça.

another very good book. I had no idea who done it. Pretty gruesome at times. ( )

Fast moving plot, but unsatisfying ending to capturing the bad guy. ( )

I, Alex Cross is perhaps the worst novel, ever, set in Washington, D.C.; the worst smutty book, ever, involving politicians or U.N. ambassadors; and the worst bid for literature ever—OK, this week—on the Times bestseller list.
