"Quote on front of book "If there really were human superheroes, Alex Cross would be at the head of the class." New York Times. Don't disagree with this statement at all, however, this book is not about Alex Cross, but an ancestor. Was totally disappointed in this book. I'm almost at a point of not buying any more Patterson books. It seems he's just cranking them out, because anything he writes will automatically make best seller lists. Oh well, not ready to give up yet, but don't bother with this if you are a Cross fan."
"Even though the title use the Alex Cross character name, this story has absolutely nothing to do with the Alex Cross book series. The only "link" to Alex Cross is the first 2 or 3 pages of the book when Alex is 'talking' and explaining that his great grandfather is a character in this story of racial unrest in the South.
The main character is a lawyer from Washington DC who is asked personally by President Teddy Roosevelt to investigate stories of lynching in his southern home town. Then the President completely ignores all reports, does not respond at all. It is just one of the strange parts of the story.
Just another of the recent books that Patterson has "co authored," but my feeling is that Patterson is really just selling his characters' names so that the publisher can capitalize on the Patterson name in order to sell books. It doesn't appear that Patterson is actually WRITING these "co authoring" stories."
