Publisher Description

The year is 1906, and America is segregated. Hatred and discrimination plague the streets, the classroom, and the courts. But in Washington DC, Ben Corbett, a smart and courageous lawyer, makes it his mission to confront injustice at every turn. He represents those who nobody else dares defend. So when President Roosevelt, who Ben served under in the Spanish-American war, asks Ben to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in his home town in Mississippi, he cannot refuse. 

The details of Ben’s harrowing story, and his experiences with a remarkable man named Abraham Cross, were passed from generation to generation, until they were finally recounted to Alex Cross by his grandmother, Nana Mama. From the first time he heard the story, Alex was unable to forget the unimaginable events Ben witnessed in Eudora and pledged to tell it to the world. Alex Cross’ Trial is unlike any story Patterson has ever told, but offers the astounding action and breakneck speed of any Alex Cross novel.

    " About the racial tensions in a small town in Mississippi in the early 1900s. You see the good and bad in the deep south during this period, but it is a real page turner. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Wow, what a recovery! From the trashy "Swimsuit" of the summer, Patterson delivers a strong turn of the last century story of the racially charged south in "Trial." Strong, believable characters remind us that our present political conflicts are mild in comparison to our own past. "

    " This is the first thing I've ever read "by" James Patterson. I say "by" because for all I know the secondary writer wrote the whole thing. If this is truly Patterson's style in all his books, I wonder why they're so popular. Just not my thing, I guess. "

    " This was much different than his other Alex Cross stories. Based mostly in the early 1900's when lynching and the KKK was still in force. Fictional but worth the read. "

    " This book was total brain candy, but it was engrossing. The main character was compelling, yet I felt there was something left to be desired - I can't quite put my finger on it. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " A good read. This story is about Alex Cross's grandmother and her family when to be a negro in the south was dangerous. A story of lynchings and mob violence which made the Cross's grandmother the lady she now is in the present day novels. "

    " It was different from James Patterson's typical style. It was still a quick, easy read but had a much deeper topic level (the lynchings in the south after the civil war). Very good though. "
