<p><strong>The thirty-first instalment in James Patterson's globally bestselling series.</strong><br /><br />When an American Airlines plane explodes in the sky, detectives Alex Cross and John Sampson are first on the scene. They don't hear the gunfire. At first.<br /><br />It soon becomes clear that the plane was taken down by a rare, stolen machine gun. The list of people who could operate the weapon is short.
