About Return of the Spider

Alex Cross is back in the next instalment of James Patterson's globally bestselling series... but so is an old enemy he thought he'd laid to rest... 'Alex Cross is a legend' HARLAN COBEN Discover the next book in the globally bestselling Alex Cross series... now the inspiration for the original series CROSS on Prime Video starring Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross. ________________ Alex Cross thought serial killer Gary Soneji was dead and buried. But when a hidden cabin reveals a stash of gruesome trophies and diaries, Cross realises the Spider's evil influence has spread wider than he ever thought possible. The chilling truth soon becomes clear: Cross imprisoned the wrong man. As he studies the clues, Cross becomes enmeshed in a web of evil designed to ensnare him all along. Now he must retrace the steps of a long-ago investigation and face...the Return of the Spider. ________________ PRAISE FOR THE ALEX CROSS SERIES 'Patterson never, and I mean never, disappoints' USA TODAY 'Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it' LEE CHILD 'Alex Cross ... only gets better and better' LISA SCOTTOLINE 'I wrote, \"Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name.\" A household name, indeed' NELSON DEMILLE ' Alex Cross has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages' DOUGLAS PRESTON AND LINCOLN CHILD
