Overview

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.

Four Blind Mice

Written by jtswett from Ivy, VA on November 19th, 2009

  • Book Rating: 1/5

This was a very disappointing effort by James Patterson. i have enjoyed the Alex Cross character in many of Patterson's other books. The story line in this book is superficial, unrealistic, and needlessly violent. It was a chore to finish. I felt that Mr. Patterson's effort was driven more to complete a contractual committment with his publisher than anything else.

I couldn't have liked a book more. I have read all the Ladies Murder club and loved them. This is the first Alex Cross, I am hooked. I think it is excellent.

A great book and a surprise to have in this one how John Samson met his wife. I feel like I'm a part of the Alex Cross family, I have read most all of the series. I just wish I had read them in order.

This was an excellent book. I was surprised at the end to find out who the fourth mice was. I love all the books with Alex Cross character. I can't say enough how interesting they all are.

I love Cross & Sampson. A little gruesome at times, but still a good listen!

Good story, I loved the readers. Was a little brutal at times.... not my usual pick but I still found myself intrigued and wanted to hear the next chapter. I was thinking about the characters weeks after.

Another great book by James Patterson. Cross & Sampson keep going back for more. They won't rest until they solve the case. The killers obviously have no conscience. They seem to just kill for the sport of it.

Patterson, James

James Patterson is an award-winning American author. Formerly the chairman of advertising company J. W. Thompson in the early 1990s, Patterson came up with the slogan "Toys R Us Kid." Shortly after his success with Along Came A Spider, he retired from the firm and devoted his time to writing. The novels-featuring his character, Alex Cross, a black forensic psychologist formerly of the Washington, D.C. Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation, now working as a private psychologist and government consultant-are the most popular books among Patterson readers and the top selling US Detective series in the past ten years.

In 2007, one of every fifteen hardcover novels sold was a James Patterson title - totaling an estimated of 16 million books sold last year in North America alone. In total, Patterson's books have sold an estimated 150 million copies worldwide. He has won awards including the Edgar, the BCA Mystery Guild's Thriller of the Year, and the International Thriller of the Year award. James Patterson was called "the man who can't miss" in Time magazine. He is the first author to have #1 new titles simultaneously on The New York Times adult and children's bestsellers lists, and to have two books on NovelTracker's top-ten list at the same time..He holds the New York Times bestsellers list record with 39 New York Times bestselling titles overall.* He even made an appearance on the Fox TV show The Simpsons as himself.

Patterson is also well known for sharing the spotlight with different co-authors such as Maxine Paetro and Andrew Gross and has often said that collaborating with others brings new and interesting ideas to his stories.

He also founded the James Patterson PageTurner Awards, now in its third year. Patterson has personally given away over $600,000 to reward "people, companies, schools, and other institutions who find original and effective ways to spread the excitement of books and reading."

Patterson's bestselling Women's Murder Club series is now a TV show starring former Law & Order star Angie Harmon. The show premiered in the fall of 2007 on ABC television. Other movie deals are currently in the works with various Hollywood studios including a major motion picture based on his Maximum Ride series, to be produced by Avi Arad, the creator of X-Men and Spiderman. Most recently, the forthcoming Dangerous Days of Daniel X has been optioned by New Regency.

Patterson received his bachelor's degree from Manhattan College.

He lives in Palm Beach, Florida with his wife, Susan, and son, Jack.
