Alex Cross and his long‑time partner John Sampson are forced to work separate, high‑stakes cases. In Washington, DC, Sampson stands in a street‑crater after an explosion, calling in the bomb squad for what looks like a terrorist attack as a serial bomber begins targeting the capital. In Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Cross searches the ransacked apartment of his missing son Damon, a psychology grad student and activist, fearing that following in his father’s footsteps has made Damon a target.
