Alex Cross's son Ali is eager to follow in his father's footsteps as a detective, but when his best friend goes missing, what price will he have to pay to solve the mystery?

Alex Cross
The brilliant DC detective who never gives up on a case.

Ali Cross
The tenacious kid who's determined to follow in his father's footsteps.

The case that finally gives him a chance
Ali knows Gabe Qualls better than anyone, so when his friend goes missing, Ali jumps right into action. Alex Cross has taught his son the values he needs to solve the mystery: intelligence, persistence, and logic. One thing Ali hasn't learned? Patience.

Because Ali realises that with every day that passes without the police finding Gabe, the less likely it is that he'll ever be found. And being Alex Cross's son, he refuses to accept those odds.
