Along Came a Spider launches the iconic Alex Cross series with a gripping blend of psychological suspense and high-stakes investigation. When two children from an elite Washington, D.C., school are abducted by their trusted teacher, detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross is pulled into a case that quickly becomes national in scope. The kidnapper is calculating, unpredictable, and always one step ahead — drawing Cross into a dangerous game that tests the limits of his training and intuition. Meanwhile, Cross’s connection with Jezzie Flanagan, a rising Secret Service supervisor, adds emotional tension as professional boundaries blur in the midst of crisis. Layered with twists and driven by Patterson’s fast-paced storytelling, this thriller sets the foundation for one of crime fiction’s best-known protagonists.
