When the home of Alex Cross's oldest friend, Ellie Cox, is turned into
the worst murder scene Alex has ever seen, the destruction leads him to
believe that he's chasing a horrible new breed of killer. As Alex and
his girlfriend, Brianna Stone, become entangled in the deadly Nigerian
underworld of Washington D.C., what they discover is shocking: a
stunningly organized gang of lethal teenagers headed by a powerful,
diabolical man-the African warlord known as the Tiger. Just when the
detectives think they're closing in on the elusive murderer, the Tiger
disappears into thin air. Tracking him to Africa, Alex knows that he
must follow. Alone.
