The year is 1906, and America is segregated. Hatred and discrimination plague the streets, the classroom, and the courts. But in WashingtonD.C., 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, merely because of the color of their skin. When President Roosevelt, under whom Ben served 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 hear 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's Trial is unlike any story Patterson has ever told, but offers the astounding action and breakneck speed of any Alex Cross novel.

Sadly Shocking
This book goes into segration problems in the deep south in the early 1900s. Mans inhumanity to man is quite shocking. I am quite sure that things like those described in the book actually happened back then, and it is indeed a poor reflection on mankind in general. The story is well written as you might expect from Patterson, and it holds your interest all the way through. I found it to be very good reading even with the gory graphic events it dealt with. It is not a very good reflection on the good people of the deep south during that time period.

HARD REALITY
This novel takes place in the early 1900?s. Slaves had been freed, and the Ku Klux Klan (even though it had been outlawed) was alive and well in the Deep South. Ben Corbett, a lawyer in Washington, DC, is asked by President Roosevelt to go back to his small home town in Mississippi and find the truth about the Ku Klux Klan. It?s too hard to describe how the black people had to live back then, but Patterson has the ability to put the reader right in the middle of it. At times I cried reading this book?.which is very unusual for me. Sometimes the feelings and emotions pour out of the pages so real that you want to look away, but you can?t stop reading. Even though this is a novel, and the characters are not real, I?m sure that Patterson did a lot of intensive research before he wrote it. That?s why I say ?hard reality?.
