About Return of the Spider: An Alex Cross Thriller
Instant New York Times Bestseller! Return of the Spider is the stunning companion novel to Along Came a Spider, the New York Times bestselling classic thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author, James Patterson. Enter the thrilling world of the #1 bestselling detective series that inspired the Prime Video show, Cross. Along Came a Spider introduced Detective Alex Cross to readers around the globe and delivered an unsurpassed rivalry: Cross―named the “human superhero” by The New York Times―versus Gary Soneji, who the Lexington-Herald Leader called the “most deliciously wicked character since Hannibal Lecter”. But that wasn’t their first meeting ... Police discover that Soneji kept a murder book, Profiles in Homicidal Genius, detailing his transformation from substitute teacher to hardened serial killer―including clues that imply missteps that Alex Cross may have made as a rookie homicide detective. Now, Alex must retrace the steps of that long-ago investigation and face ... the Return of the Spider. “Alex Cross is a legend. He has thrilled us and kept us on the edge of our seats for twenty years now.” ―Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Gone Before Goodbye
