Description
Alex Cross and his partner John Sampson plunge into a case that's bigger and deadlier than ever when they go up against one of their greatest foes: the United States Army. Framed for murders he did not commit, with evidence too strong to ignore, Sampson's best friend is certainly facing the gas chamber. But Cross and Sampson are on the case, following the lead to a surprising and crucial witness too scared to come forward. Trapped in a web of lies, murder, sex, and corruption so thick it could reverse their very notions of guilt and innocence, Cross and Sampson soon face a deadly showdown against enemies more formidable than any they've ever seen. And only one man will walk away.
Detective Alex Cross returns in an outstanding paramilitary thriller. The "mice," highly skilled Vietnam-era Army Rangers and a mysterious boss who controls each murderous scenario, bring inexplicable violence to innocent victims. Caught in the middle are military men wrongly accused, convicted, and executed by a misguided Army. With a Bogart-like no-nonsense persona, Peter J. Fernandez captures the confident character of Cross and reflects the gravity of the story's plot. Michael Emerson brings chills as he delivers an edge to the calculating, emotionless killers as they plan each murder. The background music and sounds enhance the presentation, and the accomplished readers add breadth and realism to the characters and cultures portrayed. F.L.F. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
