Return of the Spider: An Alex Cross Thriller

Return of the Spider is the stunning companion to Along Came a Spider, the New York Times bestselling series debut that introduced Detective Alex Cross, "the real deal, a character who matters" (Rolling Stone).

The suspense classic Along Came a Spider introduced an unsurpassed rivalry:
Detective Alex Cross; the "human superhero" (New York Times) versus Gary Soneji; the "most deliciously wicked character since Hannibal Lecter" (Lexington Herald-Leader).
But that wasn't their first meeting...
Police discover that Soneji kept a murder book, Profiles in Homicidal Genius, detailing his transformation from substitute teacher to hardened serial killer--including clues that imply missteps that Alex Cross may have made a rookie homicide detective.
Now, Alex must retrace the steps of that long-ago investigation and face...the Return of the Spider.

Enter the world of the #1 bestselling detective series behind the #1 streaming show Cross.
