Detective Alex Cross is back in a coast-to-coast thriller that’s even scarier and more suspenseful than Along Came A Spider.
Two depraved serial killers are on the loose. “Casanova” is abducting young women from colleges in the Southwest.
The “Gentleman Caller” is terrorizing Los Angeles.
The worst part is, the FBI thinks they’re talking to each other. They seem to be competing. And they may even be working together. But at least one of them has made a serious miscalculation.
The favorite niece of Washington D. C., police detective Alex Cross has been kidnapped. Burned out after his last case, Cross is in no mood to take on another killer. But now he has no choice. This time it’s personal.

| Julius Caesar |
Normal Price: $12.99

In Julius Caesar, there are no heroes, only heroic words spoken by men of ambition, arrogance, and jealousy. Yet Julius Caesar is also one of Shakespeare’s most popular and polished works, a seamless blend of highly-stylized oratory and penetrating soliloquies that lays bare the innermost workings of the human mind. Here is Shakespeare in his prime, taking the story of history’s most notorious assassination and fashioning from it a brilliant and at times chilling indictment of politics by violence and of how even the strongest and noblest of minds can be corrupted by flattery and the lure of power.

“You’ve got mail.”
