About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The 15th novel in the best-selling Alex Cross series.

Detective Alex Cross delves deep into the past - to a story passed down through his family, of a courageous fight for freedom....

Alex Cross is one of the nation's foremost detectives. But fighting for justice runs in the family and it's time for Cross to tell the story that was passed down to him from his grandmother - the story of his great-uncle Abraham.

Ben Corbett is lawyer to the underprivileged and downtrodden in 1900s Washington, DC. Out of the blue, President Theodore Roosevelt invites Ben to the White House, asking him to investigate a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in Ben's own home town.

Ben returns to Mississippi, and there he meets Abraham Cross and his granddaughter, Moody. Abraham and Moody reveal to Ben the hidden side of this sleepy Southern town, where the Black community lives in constant fear.

In a battle against entrenched hatred, what sacrifices will need to be made to break this reign of terror?

Reminds me of a n author started out on very good read in the 70s. Again a n excellent way of getting away from serial killers.

Review of James Patterson 's Alex Cross 's trial part-time novel. A small town with the different ways of writing the book.

I’m a big James Patterson fan but this book far exceeded any previous books I have read of his. This book is very very emotive and I found I couldn’t stop listening. In many parts the very detailed descriptions of what we know happened to our fellow man years ago brought tears to my eyes and shame to my heart. Great book and one which I know I will always remember.

Powerful

Mildly interesting, only continued to end to see if it got better. If you like the Alex Cross series for the murder mystery factor, then you can skip this one.
Who knows, it might be right up your street though.

Meh.
