Nurse Glass

Nurse Glass (first name unknown) is the main antagonist of the Alex Cross novel Kill Alex Cross. Glass is a school nurse envious of the president's children after the death of his son Zach. After holding his wife captive and torturing and starving her, she was released with a note saying "sorry". In psychotic grief, Glass decided to kidnap the president's children, Zoe and Ethan Coyle, not unlike Gary Soneji, finding the president's full family unfair. Glass sends a note saying "there will be no ransom" and regularly records personal thoughts and ravings in tape recordings. Glass is one of the many suspects interrogated, "providing information" and feigning innocence and concern. Glass is finally caught when Cross realizes Zoe had a phone her friend told Cross about, which her family never found. After a janitor pedophile is eliminated as a suspect and arrested for child porn, when tracking the different phones the kidnapper uses, Cross realizes glass is responsible. His wife tells him about their dead son and how glass tortured her before running off, revealing the motive to Cross. When Glass is finally caught up with, in a state of emergency, Cross and his associates, Detective John Sampson and FBI Agent Ned Donahey, sedate Glass and extort the location of the children, whom they successfully rescue. However, from the radical move and circumstantial evidence, Glass was only in jail for a couple days. But the kids remember hearing Glass make the recordings alone, and the search and seizure of Glass' car reveals a tape recorder in the glove compartment. Caught red-handed, Glass grabs for his gun and is shot by Cross and Sampson in a justified killing.
