Alex Cross's Trial

Plot

It is 1906 and President Roosevelt asks Ben Corbett, a smart and courageous lawyer, to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in his home town in Mississippi. 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 he heard the story, Alex was unable to forget the unimaginable events Ben witnessed in Eudora and pledged to tell it to the world.
