Kill Alex Cross is the latest Alex Cross novel written by James Patterson. Written in 2011, this is the most dangerous Alex Cross novel so far.
He is in the middle of an investigation that includes the kidnapping of the president's (Presient Coyle) children (Zoe and Ethan) and the poisoning of the McMillan river using potassium cyanide by a terrorist group known as The Family or Al Ayla. A couple headed by Hala Dossari, the wife who is part of the terrorist group was mentioned in the beginning of this book and their adventures with Al Ayla along their way. She is skilfully trained and she is a precise shooter, as accurate as a sniper.
Are both the kidnapping and the river contamination related? The river contamination is spreading fast. Schools are closed. Read this novel as Alex Cross who was also contacted by the first lady to assist in finding their children, Ethan and Zoe.
Al Ayla could not be captured as well. There are intelligence information given but they still could not find the terrorists. The terrorists are smart enough not to be caught and their operation is almost flawless.
Time is running out for Alex Cross as he interviews the suspects who are in the vicinity of the kidnapping of the president's children. When the book was almost at the 3/4 mark, he has a lead of the kidnapper, a male nurse working at the Branaff school where the president's children are enrolled. Catching the criminal is itself a very difficult task for the kidnapper is smart too.
The Al Ayla terrorist in the novel also made a mistake in one of their operations and resulting in them spotted. Kill Alex Cross focuses on the Dossaris more than the others.
Alex also finds himself meeting Ava, a girl who robbed his mother, Nana. He is in a dilemma whether to send her to foster care or adopt her in her family.
Can Alex Cross rescue Ethan and Zoe Coyle alive? Can he and the police force including the FBI able to capture the kidnapper? One of the close persons of the kidnapper reveals something about him that prompts Alex to have a tight surveillance on him.
What methods can Alex use to catch him? You will find out when you have reached this scene. It may be the best method that he can think of at that time but it is not the best either. It turns out the only way that they can get him. The kidnapper also wanted to kill Alex Cross.
How about Ava? What decision will he made, to adopt or send her to foster care? What will happen to the Dossaris? Can things turn out well at the end? Get the book to read it. It costs only RM32.90 at MPH, Popular and Borders or you can buy it at Amazon.com below or through MPH Online.
