Cross Country

This is an okay book written by James Patterson. A strongly organized gang of vicious African teenagers, headed by a diabolical warlord known as the Tiger, have unleashed murders and explosions onto Washington D.C. Alex Cross decides to visit Nigeria to find out more about the motivations of the gang. As he travels through Africa he faces corrupt police officers and witnesses attacks on poor villages.

This is the 14th novel in the series. Patterson did well at describing the poverty and violence rampant throughout central Africa.
