Storyline
When a senator's daughter under Secret Service protection is kidnapped from a private school, detective Alex Cross investigates the case even though he's recovering from the loss of his partner.
In Washington D.C., during an operation to arrest the criminal Jim Gelway, Detective Tracie Fisher dies, and her partner, Detective and Profiler Alex Cross, blames himself for her death and retires from the police force. In the private Cathedral School, the daughter of Senator Hank Rose and Elizabeth Rose, Megan Rose, is kidnapped by her teacher Gary Soneji, despite the sophisticated security system and the presence of several secret service agents at school. Soneji calls Alex Cross, who records the conversation, and leaves one snicker of Megan to prove that the girl is with him. Alex Cross goes to the Rose's house, where he meets Secret Agent Jezzie Flannigan, who was responsible for the security of Megan, and her boss Ollie McArthur, who blames Jezzie for the failure in the security system. Jezzie asks to team-up with him and they look for clues to find the abductor, with the support of McArthur and his man. Alex Cross concludes that the psychopath Soneji is looking for fame, and Senator Hank Rose is a small fish, and Soneji's target is Megan's schoolmate Dimitri Starodubov, who is the son of the President of Russia.
