Talking of American intelligence agencies... (sorry, mustn't).
Patterson's detective, Alex Cross, is about to resign from Washington Police and may hook up with the FBI when told his partner's Army pal has been framed for murder and could face execution.
Surprise, surprise, Alex gets involved. Why were three women knifed? Why does the Army close ranks? Are Vietnam elite assassins still active? Why doesn't Cross transfer to Dock Green?
