Publisher Description

Detective Alex Cross is on his way to resign from the Washington, D.C. Police Force when his partner shows up at his door with a case he can't refuse. One of John Sampson's oldest friends, from their days together in Vietnam, has been arrested for murder. Worse yet, he is subject to the iron hand of the United States Army. The evidence against him is strong enough to send him to the gas chamber.Sampson is certain his friend has been framed, and Alex's investigation turns up evidence overlooked - or concealed - by the military authorities. Drawing on their years of street training and an almost telepathic mutual trust, Cross and Sampson go deep behind military lines to confront the most ruthless - and deadliest - killers they have ever encountered. Behind these three highly skilled killing machines there appears to be an even more threatening controller. Discovering the identity of this lethal genius will prove to be Cross' most terrifying challenge ever.

On his visits home, Alex must confront another, more disturbing mystery: what's the matter with Nana Mama? As he explores the possibility of a relationship with a woman who offers him new hope, Alex must also face the fact that his beloved grandmother is only human.

"Book 8 of the Alex Cross series. Also found this story line compelling. Alex's partner Sampson has more of a roll as he and Alex work to solve a series of seemly unrelated murders in the military. All of which someone has already been caught and often executed for."

Fernandez captures the confident character of Cross and reflects the gravity of the story’s plot. Michael Emerson brings chills as he delivers an edge to the calculating, emotionless killers as they plan each murder.

    " In what he claims to be his last case before retiring from the DCPD, Detective Alex Cross helps his longtime friend and partner John Sampson investigate the case of Sampson's old Vietnam buddy Sergeant Ellis Cooper who was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death by lethal injection by the U.S. Army. However, Cooper proclaims his innocence up to the final moments when he is executed. Now, to clear his name, Cross and Sampson decide to continue their investigation and discover that he, among many others, were set up by three former Army assassins who go by the nickname of the Three Blind Mice. Very suspenseful and fast moving book which is the trademark of Patterson. However, it seems that Cross' character is really starting to get a little tired and he should really be retired by Patterson entirely. "

    " I haven't been a James Patterson fan; I find most of his works as medicare at best. However this one was more interesting than some other ones I had read. It was an interesting murder mystery. I guess I have to give it to this author, he writes a lot and has plenty of imagination. But at what cost? (From what I hear, great amounts in his bank account, therefore, kudos to him.) "
