高産作傢 James Patterson 的 Cross 係列又齣新著 Double Cross ，這一次我們的主角 Alex Cross 將直麵華盛頓兩大殺人狂。 離奇命案震驚華盛頓，即使是 Alex Cross 和他的新歡 Brianna Stone 偵探都對此聞所未聞。對於自己的行為成為城市的焦點，凶手非但豪不在乎還對此樂此不疲。

同時，另一個殺人魔王 Kyle Craig 竟然離奇的從科羅拉多戒備森嚴的監獄裏越獄而齣，立誓要找 Alex Cross 報仇。如果，這兩個傢夥閤夥，華盛頓將麵臨空前絕後的危機....

Just when Alex thought his life was calming down into a routine of patients and therapy sessions, he finds himself back in the game--this time to catch a criminal mastermind like no other.

A spate of elaborate murders in Washington D.C. have the whole East Coast on edge. They are like nothing Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. With each murder, the case becomes increasingly complex. There's only one thing Alex knows: the killer adores an audience.

As victims are made into gruesome spectacles citywide, inducing a media hysteria, it becomes clear to Alex that the man he's after is a genius of terror--and he's after fame. The killer has the whole city by its strings--and he'll stop at nothing to become the most terrifying star that Washington D.C. has ever seen.
