Hope to Die (Alex Cross #22)

The New Alex Cross Thriller

Alex Cross is legendary as Washington, D.C's top detective, a man who has devoted his life to protecting others. With unwavering strength and courage, he handles the city's most complex and shocking cases. But none of the atrocities he's seen has prepared him for the sight of a homicide detective at his own front door.

Alex Cross's family has been abducted, and a madman named Thierry Mulch is threatening to kill them one by one. Blinded by rage and gripped with fear, Cross would do anything to have Bree, Nana Mama, and his beautiful children back home. But Mulch doesn't care about money or mercy.  As Cross races to save his family, he realizes a deeply terrifying truth: Thierry Mulch doesn't want to become the perfect killer - he wants to create one. And Alex Cross is the guinea pig in his ruthless experiment of good versus evil.
