Synopsis

Only hours after witnessing the execution of a killer he helped put behind bars, Alex Cross is thrown into a chilling new case. A copycat murder occurs, bearing a taunting note signed 'M' that suggests Cross made a grave mistake. As the executed convict's family launches a relentless campaign against him, Alex's abilities and reputation as a detective are severely questioned. The enigmatic 'M' masterfully lures Cross out of Washington, DC, to a series of crime scenes. Each new homicide disturbingly echoes decades-old cases and unearths deeply buried Cross family secrets, hinting at a meticulously planned destruction far beyond just his career. Cross must race against time to unmask this shadowy figure and confront a past he thought was long buried, all while his world threatens to crumble around him.
