"Target: Head of State A leader has fallen, and the procession route from Capitol Hill to the White House is lined with hundreds of thousands of mourners. No one feels the loss of a president more keenly than Alex Cross, who has devoted his life to the public good. Target: United States Cabinet A sniper's bullet strikes a target deep in the heart of DC. Cross's wife, Bree Stone, newly elevated to chief of DC detectives, faces an ultimatum: solve the case or lose the position she's worked her entire career for. The Secret Service and the FBI deploy as well in the race to find the shooter. Cross is tasked by the new president with taking a personal role with the FBI, leading an investigation unprecedented in scale and scope. Target: Alex Cross Cross has a horrible premonition that the sniper's strike is only the beginning of a larger attack. It isn't long before his fears are realized, and the nation plunges into a full-blown constitutional crisis. Cross's ingenuity, training, and capacity for battle are tested beyond limits in the most far-reaching and urgently consequential case of his life. As the rule of law is shattered by chaos, Cross fights to isolate a suspect. And Cross's loyalty may be the biggest danger of all."--Provided by publisher. (less)
