Cross Justice: 23 (Alex Cross)

Narrator Ruben Santiago Hudson infuses Alex with his own blend of passion and vigor to make this presentation his own. As Alex's search for the real killer sends him deep into his own family's secrets, Hudson's voice peels back layers of raw and heartrending emotion. Jefferson Mays provides counterpoint to Hudson's performance with his skillful creation of the depraved killer. Together, the two narrators anchor the plot with enduring performances and bring Alex home at last.

Patterson's Alex Cross is back again in another crazy, suspenseful mystery that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Patterson's writing style never disappoints, with his characters still seeming fresh even more than twenty novels in. No story is the same, and this book is as worthy a read as all the ones before it.
