Return of the Spider is the stunning prequel to Along Came a Spider.

The suspense classic Along Came a Spider introduced an unsurpassed rivalry:
Detective Alex Cross: the “human superhero” (New York Times) versus Gary Soneji: the “most deliciously wicked character since Hannibal Lecter” (Lexington Herald-Leader).
But that wasn’t their first meeting…
At a desolate cabin in the woods, police discover a hidden journal titled “Profiles in Homicidal Genius.” Evidence points to it being a murder book kept by Soneji.
As Alex studies the clues, he’s enmeshed in a web of evil Soneji designed to ensnare him all along. Plunging into the past, Alex must now retrace the steps of a long-ago investigation and face…the Return of the Spider.

Now enter the world of the #1 bestselling detective series behind the #1 show Cross on Prime Video.
