The charges: explosive

Alex Cross has never been on the wrong side of the law - until now. Charged with killing in cold blood, Cross is being turned into the poster child for trigger-happy cops.

The evidence: shocking

Cross knows it was self-defense. But, as the case against him builds, even those closest to him begin to doubt his innocence.

The People vs. Alex Cross: the trial of the century

With his whole life and career on the line, if Cross can't convince his own family that he didn't pull the trigger with intent to kill, how can he hope to persuade a jury?
