Cross And Sampson

Cross and Sampson by James Patterson is a fast-paced crime thriller that spins out from the Alex Cross series and puts Detective John Sampson right in the firing line. When two major cases hit at once, Cross and Sampson split up—testing their instincts, their stamina, and the trust that’s kept them alive for years.

In Washington, DC, Sampson is called to a blown-out street that looks like a terrorist bombing. Meanwhile in North Carolina, Alex Cross is pulled into something far more personal: his son Damon has vanished, and the search leads Cross through uneasy questions about what it means to follow in a famous detective’s footsteps.

Moving between police stations, FBI briefings and volatile crime scenes, this Washington DC-set mystery builds momentum without giving away its secrets.

Perfect for readers who love detective fiction, high-stakes investigations, and Alex Cross books with a sharper focus on partnership and family.

Add it to your trolley and see how far Cross and Sampson will go.
