The Cross character is featured in 29 novels by Patterson, which have been adapted for feature films three times: 1997’s Kiss the Girls and 2001’s Along Came a Spider, with Morgan Freeman playing the title character, and 2012’s Alex Cross, starring Tyler Perry. He is desperate for love, but his wife’s murder has left him too damaged to receive it. A doting father and family man, Cross is single-minded to the point of obsession when he hunts killers.
In development since early 2020, Cross will center on Hodge’s title character, a detective and forensic psychologist who’s uniquely capable of digging into the minds of killers and victims in order to identify and catch them.
