About this Event

Join us for coffee, conversation, and community as we discuss James Patterson's Target: Alex Cross on Wednesday, January 28th at 1:00pm. One of USA Today's "books not to miss," Target: Alex Cross was an instant bestseller when it released in 2018, debuting at #2 on the New York Times list. Available wherever books are sold and from the Free Library of Philadelphia.

James Patterson is one of the most popular storytellers and prolific authors of the last century with hundreds of millions of copies of his books sold around the world, including the Alex Cross books, which are the basis for the Amazon television series Cross; and three films featuring Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry as the title character. He is the recipient of ten Emmys, an Edgar Award, the National Humanities Medal, and more. He publishes dozens of novels, children's books, and nonfiction works each year.

A leader has fallen, and Alex Cross joins the procession of mourners from Capitol Hill to the White House. Then a sniper’s bullet strikes a target in the heart of DC Alex Cross’s wife, Bree Stone, must either solve the case or lose her position as the city’s newly elevated chief of detectives. The Secret Service and the FBI deploy as well in the race to find the shooter. Alex is tasked by the new President to lead an investigation unprecedented in scale and scope. But is the sniper’s strike only the beginning of a larger attack on the nation?
