These are some of my favorite books. Alex Cross is a detective in Washington D.C. that catches high profiled killers. I had already blogged about Cat & Mouse earlier this semester. The book Alex Cross's Trial, is a story told by Alex Cross about a lawyer named Ben Corbett. Ben gets sent down to his hometown Eudora, Mississippi by President Roosevelt because of the attacks of the KKK on the African Americans that live in Eudora. Ben Corbett is a lot like Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird and he can't win a lot of cases for their defendants because the jury is very racist. Ben Corbett meets Alex's great uncle Abraham Cross and Abraham's granddaughter Moody. Ben also finds out that some of the people he has loved and befriended when he lived in Eudora, are some of the people behind these violent attacks on the African Americans that live there. I enjoyed this book Alex Cross's Trial because it really opened up my eyes about some of the prejudices and racism that was going on in the South towards the African Americans that live there. I would recommend these books because they are both thrillers and have you on the edge of your seat waiting to learn about what is going to happen. Both of these books are very violent and I would not recommend it to someone that can't handle violence because some of the scenes in the books are a little bit too descriptive.
