Summary:
Alex Cross dejó su ciudad natal y algunas terribles tragedias familiares para vivir una vida mejor con Nana Mama en Washington, DC. No ha mirado atrás. Ahora, su primo Stefan ha sido acusado de un asesinato horrible e impensable, y Cross conduce hacia el sur con Bree, Nana Mama, Jannie y Ali a Starksville, Carolina del Norte, por primera vez en treinta y cinco años. De regreso a casa, descubre una comunidad que alguna vez fue orgullosa y que ha perdido su suerte, y los residentes locales no lo reciben con los brazos abiertos. Cuando Cross entra en la casa de su familia, los horrores de su infancia regresan y se entera de que en realidad no han terminado. Aporta toda su habilidad para descubrir la verdad sobre el caso de su prima. Pero la verdad es difícil de encontrar en un pueblo donde nadie se siente seguro para hablar. Perseguir a sus fantasmas lleva a Cross hasta los campos de caña de azúcar de Florida, donde se ve envuelto en un caso en el que los policías locales necesitan su tipo de experiencia: una serie de asesinatos de miembros de la alta sociedad con escenarios cada vez más espeluznantes. Está persiguiendo demasiados cabos sueltos: un asesino brutal, la verdad sobre su propio pasado y la justicia para su primo, y cualquiera de las respuestas podría ser fatal.
Alex Cross left his hometown, and some awful family tragedies, for a better life with Nana Mama in Washington, DC. He hasn't looked back. Now his cousin Stefan has been accused of a horrible, unthinkable murder, and Cross drives south with Bree, Nana Mama, Jannie, and Ali to Starksville, North Carolina, for the first time in thirty-five years. Back home, he discovers a once proud community down on its luck, and local residents who don't welcome him with open arms. As Cross steps into his family home, the horrors of his childhood flood back -- and he learns that they're not really over. He brings all his skill to finding out the truth about his cousin's case. But truth is hard to come by in a town where no one feels safe to speak. Chasing his ghosts takes Cross all the way down to the sugarcane fields of Florida, where he gets pulled into a case that has local cops needing his kind of expertise: a string of socialite murders with ever more grisly settings. He's chasing too many loose ends -- a brutal killer, the truth about his own past, and justice for his cousin -- and any one of the answers might be fatal.
