Cross Country by James Patterson

Cross Country by Patterson is yet another in the Alex Cross mystery series. I personally think Patterson had some kind of social awakening that influenced his writing in this book. While the suspense was dramatic and mesmerizing as only Patterson can inflict, the story itself was too true in is realities to ignore. Horrific multiple murders leads Alex Cross chasing his killer, around the world to face the devastation, destruction, and nightmarish realities for the people of Africa. The killer gang thugs leave a trail of devilish violence and leads the reader on a non-stop action adventure/mystery.

I personally found more in this book than any other of the Patterson books I've read to date. He was more than just a creative writer, he was a social conscience advocate. Awesome book, if you can bear the horrors of an all to true foundational structure in the story.
