The President's children have been kidnapped.

Detective Alex Cross is investigating the shocking crime, but someone powerful is trying to keep him off the case.

Just days later, a deadly contagion in the DC water supply threatens to cripple the capital, and Cross fears that the stakes are much higher than he first thought - America is under attack.
