Alex Cross’s Trial


James Patterson
Little Brown and Company
$27.95


There are several things that are different about this one. It is the first Alex Cross that Patterson has written with someone else, and it is not really an Alex Cross story. It also takes place at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is a tale that Cross is supposed to have written about something in his family that has been passed down through the years. Like all of the other books by Patterson, it has his trademark of a fast read and strong characters. It is also a social commentary on racism. The novel is interesting and moves along to its smashing conclusion.
