Cross Down: An Alex Cross and John Sampson Thriller (2023) was appealing in that — for the first time — John Sampson is the lead character. Alex Cross shot and hospitalized early in the book.

Sampson goes on a clandestine mission in which no cavalry will be called upon to bail him out should it all go sideways. …
