Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Having fought a bloody battle with a criminal mastermind, the weary Alex has decided to leave the Washington Police Force. Another factor in his decision is a new romance: his life has changed since he met the seductive Jamilla Hughes. But (readers won't be surprised to hear) Alex is persuaded by John Sampson to take on one final case: his closest friend has been indicted for a grisly double murder. Fingerprints and DNA evidence link the suspect with two women who have been savagely knifed at an army base, but Alex comes to believe that he's looking at a frame-up. And as the resourceful detective cuts through a swathe of intrigue to uncover both a complex plot and a malign opponent, he finds himself in quite as much danger as in any of his confrontations with super-intelligent serial killers. Those familiar with previous Patterson novels as will know exactly what to expect here. If there is less time than usual spent on developing Alex's personality, that's because Patterson is more than ever putting his skills at the service of an extremely fast-moving narrative. Four Blind Mice will keep Patterson admirers more than happy. --Barry Forshaw --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
'If there really were human superheroes, Alex Cross would be at the head of the class...and, with each instalment in the series, Patterson makes sure his superhero gets bigger and better while at the same time becomming more vulnerable.'
(New York Times )'Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... There's no stopping his imagination.'
(New York Times Book Review )

An old army budy of John's from Vietnam, a decorated veteran with a perfect record, is convicted of a brutal murder. And Alex can not accept this. He ask Alex to investigate this crime as a favor. As they delve into the murder, they find that there is more then one crime associated with the Army that have the same profile. The army does not cooperate with Cross, and we are left wondering if they are protecting their own, or hiding something.
There are a lot of distractions in this book, and some background. We learn why John feels like he was rasied by Alex's grandmother, Nana. The fact that John servered in Vietnam before going to the police academy. Both John and Alex have new budding relationships. And Nana is sick.
As usual, we know who the killers are toward the begining of the book. And we get to see things from the killers propsective as our hero, Alex Cross tries to catch them. Still, the book is a page turner and I read it in one day.
James Patterson excels himself again.
Cleverly written and quick paced 'Four Blind Mice' gives you everything you expect from an Alex Cross story.
I like the fact that Sampson is more involved with this. For years he has supposed to have been Alex's partner and finally now he is acting like one!
I would have loved to give it 5 stars but have given it four as im not too sure where James Patterson is going with this book. Its Alex Cross through and through but its as if he has started all over again with this one. It does tie up a few loose ends but to me it has left a lot extremely wide open. Maybe its not the last! Come on JP give us more of the amazing stuff you write!
Alex Cross has told Nana and his family that he's going to resign... Read more
