Now, Alex passes the family tale along to his own children in a novel he's written-a novel called <i>Trial.</i>As a lawyer in turn-of-the-century Washington D.C., Ben Corbett represents the toughest cases. Fighting against oppression and racism, he risks his family and his life in the process. When President Roosevelt asks Ben to return to his home town to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan there, he cannot refuse. When he arrives in Eudora, Mississippi, Ben meets the wise Abraham Cross and his beautiful granddaughter, Moody. Ben enlists their help, and the two Crosses introduce him to the hidden side of the idyllic Southern town. Lynchings have become commonplace and residents of the town's black quarter live in constant fear. Ben aims to break the reign of terror-but the truth of who is really behind it could break his heart. Written in the fearless voice of Detective Alex Cross, <i>Alex Cross's Trial</i> is a gripping story of courage in the face of prejudice and terror. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "A little bit of Atticus from <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i> and a lot of James Patterson heading in a new direction."<br>--<b><i>TheReviewBroads.com</b></i> </br></br>"A compelling and unforgettable novel . . .
