Alex Cross's Trial (Large Print)
In this book “written” by Alex Cross, Patterson breaks new ground as we head back to 1906, where news of widespread lynchings in the deep south have caught the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt. Deeply concerned, he summons Ben Corbett, a white lawyer who hails from Eurdora, Mississippi, and asks him to return to his roots to investigate. But what Ben sees with the help of Abraham Cross, a stately man of 91, and his granddaughter, Moody, is a degree of lawlessness and cruelty that defies belief. When Abraham’s home is attacked, Ben manages to catch the offenders, and the ensuing trial creates a whole new meaning for the term “nailbiter.”
Alex Cross’s Trial is another brilliant tour de force by the undisputed master.

Something New from Patterson
November 09, 2009
I wasn't expecting this type of story, but am enjoying it immensely. Something new, different, and riveting. Gives you a real sense of what really happened in the South and the mindset of everyday citizens. Makes you think.
