Target: Alex Cross is the twenty-fourth novel in the Alex Cross series. [3]
Someone is killing the nation's political leaders. Alex Cross is now on assignment to the FBI and his wife, Bree Stone, is now the chief of detectives for the DC Police. Alex and a team of FBI agents, as well as Bree and the Secret Service must find who is behind the killings and why. Before all the mayhem is done, the new president and many in line to succession to the Presidency have been felled. The plot is discovered and when it is, those who solved this case are truly shocked at who was behind this and why.
A review in Book Reporter was positive. The review said, "Those who have strayed from the series recently for whatever reason, thriller fans who have never read an Alex Cross novel, and readers who have been on the train from the beginning of the series will find much to love here." [4] This book, when it was first published, was touted in USA Today as a book readers would not want to miss. [5]
