**In this #1 _New York Times_ bestseller from the world's most popular storyteller, Alex Cross is gravely injured and only his partner and friend John Sampson can keep him safe . . . and get justice. ​**

For the first time, John Sampson is on his own.

The brilliant crime-solving duo of Washington, DC's, Metro PD and the FBI has a proven MO: Detective Alex Cross makes his own rules. Detective John Sampson enforces them.

When military-style attacks erupt, brutally sidelining Cross, Sampson is sent reeling. _The patterns are too random_\--Sampson's friend, his partner, his _brother_\--have told him. _Don't trust anyone_.

As a shadow force advances on the nation's capital, Sampson alone must protect the Cross family, his own young daughter, and every American, including the president.
