Product Description
Separated by time
From his grandmother, Alex Cross has heard the story of his great uncle Abraham and his struggles for survival in the era of the Ku Klux Klan. Now, Alex passes the family tale along to his own children in a novel he's written--a novel called Trial.
Connected by blood
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.
United by bravery
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, Alex Cross's Trial is a gripping story of murder, love, and, above all, bravery.

 Interesting historical fiction from a great writer July 31, 2010
Eustacia Vye (Pittsburgh, PA)
I found this book to be very different from the stereotypical Patterson novel. I was expecting a typical Alex Cross book, however I was pleasantly surprised. It is a historical fiction father than his traditional crime novels. The horrifying details, often left out of history books, shows the reader what it was like to be a Southern Black during the early 1900s. Overall, it was a good story, but again, don't expect your typical Patterson novel.
Do not limit yourself July 26, 2010
Alice C. Royce (Maryville, TN)
I just listened to this book and am exhausted. It was hard to hear, but I would not have wanted to miss it. For those of you who felt betrayed by the title, I ask this. Is there a better way to understand the character of Alex Cross, than by reading this story which was a part of his heritage? Nana Mama raised him on what happened in the past. Try not to limit yourselves folks, this was worth reading.

As a consummate James Patterson/Alex Cross fan, I thought that this book was the BEST of them all. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I read it in one afternoon. It is definitely the better buy of the books I purchased recently. It was a complete and pleasant surprise. It is worth the price and a definite buy.
Great Book July 15, 2010
Constant Reader (Glendale, WI)
This is a great story & keeps your interest peaked. I found I hated to put the book down and finished it in a day & a half. I would recommend this book to everyone. Helps you understand what it was like in the South back then. Wonder if it's still the same in some parts?
 Disapointing July 14, 2010
Lucy's Mom
I have read many of James Patterson's books and thoroughly enjoyed most of them. However, this was not one of them. I found it somewhat boring. It seems like the Patterson books co-authored by another person are not up to his usual standard.
