A leader has fallen, and the procession route from Capitol Hill to the White House is lined with hundreds of thousands of mourners. None feel the loss of a President more keenly than Alex Cross, who has devoted his life to the public good. A sniper's bullet strikes a target in the heart of DC. Alex Cross's wife, Bree Stone, newly elevated chief of DC detectives, faces an ultimatum: solve the case, or lose the position for which she's worked her entire career. The Secret Service and the FBI deploy as well in the race to find the shooter. Alex is tasked by the new President to take a personal role with the FBI, leading an investigation unprecedented in scale and scope. Alex has a horrible premonition: is the sniper's strike only the beginning of a larger attack on the nation?

OMG. When an audiobook has to spend 15 minutes at the end to describe the motivation and plot then you know it's a crappy book. I am ok with twists and surprise endings but this one had to hold our hand through the whole plot. I am also quite irritated that patterson has chapter breaks right in the middle of discussions. Does not make sense and its very maddening when listening to a character comment then narrator says “chapter 101” then a character replies to the previous comment. ARRGH.
