One minor character in this novel is Sampson. Sampson knows Alex Cross better than his own two kids. This is because Sampson is Alex’s partner in the police force. Sampson hates Gary Soneji just as much as the next person, but unlike Alex, Sampson is afraid of Gary. Sampson doesn’t have a wife or kids, so he hangs out at Alex’s house a lot. Another minor character is Jezzie Flanagan. She is Alex and Sampson’s boss at the police station. She supports them 100%. Jezzie had an affair with Alex at the end of the novel. They went to Cuba for two months for “POLICE BUISNESS.”
I would say that the main character is Alex Cross. I say this because from start to finish, he’s in every chapter. Alex has two kids and he is divorced. He works as the head at the police department. His partner is Sampson and his boss is Jezzie Flanagan.

This setting is important to the story because it is always changing, and the story revolves around those changes.
4) The murderer (Justice Wargrave), finally the one guest that is portrait as the most obvious, until he dies (then comes back to life). This person always remains discrete until the last moment where he reveals that he is a rampaging, psychopathic, cold blooded killer. 5) The innocent victims, of course, what story is complete without the sad tales of innocent live being slaughtered.
