Summary:
Los disparos resuenan en las primeras horas de la mañana en los suburbios de Washington, D.C. Cuando el humo se disipa, un destacado oficial de policía yace muerto, dejando a la fuerza policial de la ciudad luchando por obtener respuestas. Bajo la presión del alcalde, Alex Cross entra en el vacío de liderazgo para investigar el caso. Pero antes de que Cross pueda avanzar, una brutal ola de crímenes se extiende por toda la región. Las escenas mortales comparten solo un hilo común: las víctimas son todos criminales. Y lo único más peligroso que un asesino sin conciencia, es un asesino que cree tener la justicia de su lado. Mientras Cross persigue a un adversario que se ha designado a sí mismo como juez, jurado y verdugo, debe volver a tomar la justicia por su mano antes de que la ciudad que ha jurado proteger caiga en un caos total.
Shots ring out in the early morning hours in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. When the smoke clears, a prominent police official lies dead, leaving the city's police force scrambling for answers. Under pressure from the mayor, Alex Cross steps into the leadership vacuum to investigate the case. But before Cross can make any headway, a brutal crime wave sweeps across the region. The deadly scenes share only one common thread -- the victims are all criminals. And the only thing more dangerous than a murderer without a conscience, is a killer who thinks he has justice on his side. As Cross pursues an adversary who has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, he must take the law back into his own hands before the city he's sworn to protect descends into utter chaos.
