Detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson are better together—until they’re called to separate locations to investigate a pair of serious crimes.

In Washington, DC…

Metro PD detective John Sampson stands in a crater in the middle of a DC street, calling in the bomb
squad. “Dispatch, this is Sampson. Contact the FBI and the ATF. We’ve got a suspected terrorist attack
here.”

In Chapel Hill, NC…

Alex Cross searches the apartment of a missing psychology grad student—his own son Damon. Has
following in his famous father’s footsteps made Damon a target?

From FBI headquarters, in police stations, on airplanes, and at murder scenes, the detectives track crimes committed hundreds of miles apart. It will take more than distance to weaken the partnership of Sampson & Cross.

“John Sampson is a standout character, and his taking the lead here is a thing of beauty. Cross Down is non-stop action.”
