The new series from Amazon Prime Video stars Aldis Hodge as literary figure Alex Cross, a detective and forensic psychologist determined to get into the mind of murderers to stop killings before they happen.

There are also two novellas by Patterson in the series, 2016's Cross Kill and 2017's Detective Cross, while the 2023 novel Cross Down is a joint Alex Cross and John Sampson novel, and was co-written by Patterson with Brendan DuBois.

A tenacious but troubled Washington, D.C. police detective investigates a serial killing spree that may or may not be connected to a case from his own past.
