Book Reviews of Four Blind Mice (Alex Cross #8)

Book Review: Alex Cross Never Gives Up, Never Quits
Summary: 5 Stars

Alex Cross is a Washington DC Detective with a degree in psychology. He often helps out the FBI and other departments on cases needing psychological profiles on serial crimes. But he's told his family he's going to quit his job with the police department, and possibly go into private practice.

Then his best friend, old police partner John Sampson, asks for a favor. He needs help getting his friend and former army buddy, Sgt. Ellis Cooper, who has been convicted of murdering three women on an Army base in Raleigh, North Carolina, off of death row. Sampson believes Cooper has been framed.

The three women were having a girl's night out at one of their homes. They were later found murdered, with deep knife wounds and painted blue, all evidence pointing to Cooper, like the fact that he was found with the murder weapon. But he denied it all.

Alex and Sampson investigate and are quickly plunged into the closed and hostile world of the military. Still they continue, but they aren't in time to prove Cooper's innocence. They watch him die by lethal injection and it fuels their fires even more. They are determined to find out what's going on and why.

They gather what little information they have and it points to the three blind mice, who are three homicidal Army Rangers, Vietnam vets. And then there is their mysterious controller, the fourth blind mouse, but are they just pawns in a bigger game? As records go missing and revelations from the Vietnam War come to light, Cross and Sampson must battle against the Army bureaucratic barrier as they learn about even more deaths and a possible cover up.

Once again Mr. Patterson has written the kind of book you just cannot put down. Once again Alex is in the think of things and once again his life is on the line. And once again I was help captive as I read away. You know, somehow I don't think Alex is ever really going to go into private practice.

Summary of Four Blind Mice (Alex Cross #8)

On the verge of resigning from the D.C. police force, Detective Alex Cross knows he can't refuse this case. His partner John Sampson has a friend who has been framed for murder and is facing the gas chamber. His accusers? The United States Army. As a new woman in Cross's life brings him hope in the face of a devastating loss at home, Cross and Sampson go up against codes of honor and silence and three ruthless killers. But a bigger threat lies in wait: Their controller, a lethal genius who will introduce Cross to new depths of terror . . the last of the FOUR BLIND MICE. (2002)
In this latest thriller from perennial bestselling author James Patterson, Washington cop Alex Cross gets involved in his partner's effort to save the life of an old Army buddy who's facing execution for a horrendous and inexplicable murder spree in North Carolina. The Army's evidence against Sergeant Ellis Cooper, a decorated Vietnam vet, is overwhelming, which isn't surprising since it's all been planted by a quartet of killers whose reason for framing the erstwhile hero isn't revealed until long after they are. The big secret is who set the murderers loose, and in true cliffhanger fashion, Patterson keeps it under wraps until the very end. Meanwhile, his usual blend of action, violence, fast pacing and uninspired-though-serviceable prose prevail, and will probably do so all the way to the top of the bestseller lists. --Jane Adams
