Alex Cross’s Trial

I liked this book written by James Patterson and Richard Dilallo. In 1906, Washington, D.C. lawyer Ben Corbett is given an assignment by President Theodore Roosevelt to return to Ben’s hometown of Eudora, Mississippi, to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan. Upon arrival, he meets the wise and elderly Abraham Cross and his beautiful daughter, Moody. Ben enlists their help and is introduced to the hidden side of their idyllic town. Ben aims to break the reign of terror, but the truth of who is really behind it could break his heart. Abraham is Alex Cross’s great-uncle.
