The elaborate murders that have stunned Washington, DC, are the wildest that Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. This maniac adores an audience, and stages his killings as spectacles in public settings. Alex is pursuing a genius of terror who has the whole city on edge as it waits for his next move. And the killer loves the attention, no doubt-he even sets up his own Web site and live video feed to trumpet his madness.
And in Colorado, another criminal mastermind is planning a triumphant return. From his supermaximum-security prison cell, Kyle Craig has plotted for years to have one chance at an impossible escape. If he has to join forces with DC's Audience Killer to get back at the man who put him in that cell--Alex Cross--all the better.
From the author Time magazine has called "the man who can't miss,"Double Cross has the pulse-racing momentum and electrifying thrills that have made James Patterson a #1 bestselling storyteller all over the world. | | | |

 DON'T WAIST YOUR TIME Sep 06, 2010
THIS WAS JUST NOT GOOD.
I LIKE HIS OTHER WORK,BUT THIS ONE WAS JUST BOORING.
 Alexander the Great Aug 03, 2010
I gave this book 2 stars because it's not the worst thing I've ever read, but it's close. Even though this book reads like it was written from a recipe, the end result wouldn't have been so bad if the main ingredient wasn't so stale. The main character, Alex Cross, is the typical retired super detective who is semi-reluctantly pulled out of retirement to solve the case no one else in the world can solve and he drives a Mercedes Benz R 350.
Perhaps everyone who isn't Alex Cross in this book has such a hard time solving the case because all they do is stand around and think about how awesome Alex Cross is. Even Alex Cross spends the majority of his time thinking about how awesome he is and driving his Mercedes Benz R 350.
Oh did I mention he drives a Mercedes Benz R 350? He does. Often.
Started off interesting, but went downhill fast Jul 23, 2010
I thought the book started off well with an interesting twist of how the main serial killer (DCAK) made up characters which he portrayed during the course of his murders. Now that I've said everything positive I can about this book, lets get to the bad. The book did not need the Kyle Craig character in it at all and every section of the book in which he made an appearance brought the novel to a screaching and awkward halt considering he was completely secluded from the rest of the story's plotline. The revelation that Cross's two counseling patients are the killer duo actually came as no surprise. It also made no sense that if they planned on killing him that they didn't use their covers in this case to their advantage. And I didn't get why they were a duo anyways. The only thing that I can say the killer's sister actually did in the entire book was give her own brother a handjob infront of Cross. Really... WTF? What was the point? The ending was also horrible. Cross, his girlfriend, and his old partner are all tied up while the killer duo both have guns on them from different angles. So basically their stuck in a situation in which escaping is impossible, and of course they not only escape but overpower their captors. Cross even manages to get into a knife fight with the guy and win. Oh yeah then Kyle Craig shows up to threaten Cross's life to his face and then leaves without even attempting to kill him. Come on, give me a break.
The ending made me glad that I had found this book at a b&b instead of paying money for it. This was the first and last James Patterson book I'm going to read. Would have given it 0 stars in I could because of the ending.
 James Patterson does it again! Jul 21, 2010
Each and every Alex Cross thriller by James Patterson gets better and better. I feel like I know the Cross family and always want the very best for them. Would love to see Denzel Washington play him on film. What a shocker for an ending! Great work once again by Patterson.
Exciting, thrilling, action-packed! Jul 14, 2010
Excellent book! Will not disappoint James Patterson and Alex Cross fans! The book was exciting, thrilling, and action-packed! It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, I could not put this book down! I highly recommend it!
