Criss Cross
Criss Cross is the 27th book in the Alex Cross series by author James Patterson. A killer with all the skills of a master detective has made Alex Cross the subject of his “deranged” investigation. Alex Cross and his partner John Sampson witnessed the execution of an innocent man? So how will they whitewash this case?
We invite you to follow this wonderful story.
It was a miserable mid-march afternoon
Chilling sweetie
John Sampson and I ran to the main gate of the Greensville Correctional Center
Hexagon-shaped high-security prison
In the rural southern part of the Commonwealth of Virginia
We just inside the security shack
Showed our badges in identifications
Service weapons
Agate rollback walkthrough
As a homicide detective with the DC metropolitan police
Behavioral specialist with the FBI
I’ve been to prison
Slamming shut behind me
We passed through 7 such cakes
Following Warden Adrian Gates and several reporters who’d arrived before us
One of them a journalist named Juanita flake said
Is it true he chose
Can you
Looking barely in control
I don’t wish to talk any further Miss flake
I’m not in favor of this
But it is my job to feed done
You want a different call the governor
Yates quit being criticized by the media
Went to the next gate with slicked-back
Slater we entered a small Amphitheater
With perhaps 30 seats
They recognized us as well
Most nodded and smiled weakly
Opossum sitting together sneered
And I’m sure spoke bitterly about us under their breath
Those three men and two women
We’re by far the best dressed people in the room
The men
Two brothers both middle-aged and their father dark three-piece suit
The women
One in her 60s and the other in her twenties would rest in charcoal grey Chanel outfits
Perfect
The jewelry flashy
Samson found deceased
Facing a long rectangular window
Drapes have been drawn closed on the other side
I started to question my decision to come here almost immediately
Of course but they didn’t stop to doubts from creeping in
You framed him instead
I looked up to see the older of the two fashion plates beside me
She was a petite woman with dyed as blond hair and the kind of facial skin that suggested
She had a high-dollar plastic surgeon
Mrs. Edgerton I said we are Lee
That was your son’s defense in his trial and during his appeal
Appeal Appeals
Margaret Edgerton hist
You get only one appeal in this primitive state
And the Supreme Court of Virginia upheld his conviction
Trembled with rage
I don’t know how you did it
But you did sure as I’m standing here
Curtain Doctor Cross
No ma’am
Your son put himself there a long time ago I said
He’s innocent
Wooden gate said
We need to begin
My son is innocent
Mrs Edgerton shouted
Yates said
He left the room
She glared at me
Remember this moment your soul
You will burn in hell
Then she stormed away to her husband’s side
Was she broke down stopping
Few states in the country allow the man to choose his method of execution
In Virginia
The choice is lethal injection or electrocution
The drapes rollback
But a heavy Oak chair with arm leg and chest straps
Two Corrections Officers entered the death chamber
Wooden gates followed them and watched his officers open the other door in the execution facility
Shaved headed man in his early forties stepped out
He was tall and lanky
Two chair but through the window at us Michael Mikey Edgerton
Drew himself up to his full height and then walk to the chair of his own volition as if he welcomes what was
Mom Dad Delilah tea tin
Joe
Then look straight at me I’m not going out like some kid
Night night I won’t cross and Samson and everyone else who helped frame me to see
Simi crackle to see the smoke coming out of my head and the skin on my arms and legs
Me
His mother older brother and sister began to stop only his father and his younger brother remain stoic
You did it a middle-aged women in jeans and a Georgia Tech sweatshirt shouted at him from a seat near us
She jumped to her feet and you deserve this I hope
