Plot

After the harrowing death of his partner, forensic psychologist and best-selling author Alex Cross cannot forgive himself and has retreated to the peace of retirement. But when a brilliant criminal kidnaps a senator's young daughter, he is lured back into action as the kidnapper wants to deal with Alex personally. Teamed with Jezzie Flanigan, the Secret Service agent assigned to protect the missing girl, Alex follows a serpentine trail of clues that leads him to a stunning discovery - the kidnapper wants more than just ransom.

A dead partner leaves Alex Cross retired, but Megan Rose's kidnapping pulls him back into Washington, D.C. The missing senator's daughter has been taken from a private school by Gary Soneji, a teacher who hides her inside a mobile cabinet and builds his crime around the Lindbergh kidnapping. Cross joins Secret Service agent Jezzie Flannigan, whose knowledge of the school and its routines becomes crucial as the investigation follows coded computer messages, surveillance clues, and a string of calculated diversions. What begins as a child abduction soon becomes something more elaborate, forcing Cross to question who is manipulating the investigation and what Megan's disappearance is really designed to accomplish.
