Publisher's summary

“One of the greatest fictional detectives of all time” (Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child) is in the sights of the Dead Hours Killer, a serial murderer on a ruthless mission.

An airport killer targeting pilots expands his scope. Alex Cross Must Die.

“Drop whatever you’re doing, Detective Cross, and head to Reagan Airport,” DC Metro Police dispatch says. “A jet just crashed and exploded on the runway. The chief and the FBI want you and John Sampson there pronto.”

Cross and Sampson race to the crash site. The plane didn’t fail—it was shot down by a stolen Vietnam War–era machine gun.

The list of experts who can operate the weapon is short. And time before another lethal strike runs even shorter. Especially for Detective Cross.

Alex Cross Must Die.

Enjoyed storyline.

Would have liked a different narrator for Bree. Felt this narrator was not connected to the personalities she represented.

True Thriller and characters.

Was on the edge of our seat and listened the entire 500 mile drive home. Just how the title was created. Alex Cross was never in danger.

Deceptive title

Good story, or several stories, but none of the plots had anything to do with killing Alex Cross.

The title of this book does not fit the book.

This was an excellent book. I enjoyed it, found it hard to put down, but the title just didn’t really make sense for the story the book had.
