Target: Alex Cross

A leader has fallen, and the procession route from Capitol Hill to the White House is lined with hundreds of thousands of mourners. No one feels the loss of a president more keenly than Alex Cross, who has devoted his life to the public good.

Target: United States Cabinet

A sniper's bullet strikes a target deep in the heart of DC. Cross's wife, Bree Stone, newly elevated to chief of DC detectives, faces an ultimatum: solve the case or lose the position she's worked her entire career for. The Secret Service and the FBI deploy as well in the race to find the shooter. Cross is tasked by the new President with taking a personal role with the FBI, leading an investigation unprecedented in scale and scope.

Target: Alex Cross

Cross has a horrible premonition that the sniper's strike is only the beginning of a larger attack. It isn't long before his fears are realized, and the nation plunges into a full-blown constitutional crisis. Cross's ingenuity, training, and capacity for battle are tested beyond limits in the most far-reaching and urgently consequential case of his life. As the rule of law is shattered by chaos, Cross fights to isolate a suspect. And Cross's loyalty may be the biggest danger of all.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
