First target: the head of state. A leader has fallen, and the procession route from Capitol Hill to the White house is lined with hundreds of thousands of mourners. No one feels the loss more keenly than Alex Cross, having devoted his life to the public good. Second target: the United States cabinet. A sniper's bullet strikes deep in the heart of D.C. Cross's wife, Bree Stone, must solve the case or lose her position as chief of D.C. detectives. And Cross takes a personal role with the FBI, leading an investigation unprecedented in scale and scope. Third target: Alex Cross. Cross has a horrible premonition that the sniper's strike is only the beginning of a larger attack. Now his ingenuity, training, and capacity for battle are tested beyond limits. As he fights to isolate a suspect, his loyalty may be the biggest danger of all
