Publisher's Synopsis
After witnessing the execution of Michael Edgerton, a man he helped convict of several murders, Alex Cross thinks he can finally put the case behind him. But barely a few hours later, Cross and his lifelong friend John Sampson find themselves at the scene of a killing that has all the hallmarks of one of Edgerton's. A note has been left on the corpse that reads, YOU MESSED UP BIG-TIME, BUT DON'T SWEAT IT, DR. CROSS, signed 'M'. And Cross knows the nightmare is far from over. Accused by Edgerton's family of framing him for murder, Cross fights to clear his name as the evidence against him builds. As more notes - and more bodies - start appearing, Cross is determined to put an end to this case once and for all.
