Cross Justice
“Althea, the owner and cook, saw Drummond and rushed out from behind a counter to hug him, laughing.
“You leave your old lady for me yet, Drummond?” Althea asked in a Jamaican accent.
“You know she’s one in a million,” the sergeant replied.
“I do,” Althea said. “Just checking to see if you’d lost your mind since I last saw you.”
Drummond introduced us, and she found us a seat in the small restaurant.
“Something to drink?” Althea asked. “Red Stripe?”
Johnson looked at Drummond, who said, “You’re ...off duty. Don’t mind me.”
“Red Stripe,” Johnson said.
“Make it two,” I said.
Drummond said, “Don’t bother with menus, Althea. Just bring us what you think we should be eating. Some of it should be fish.”
That seemed to make her happy, and she went off.
“You’ll be ruined for Jamaican food for life,” Drummond said. “I’m not kidding. Half the customers are from the Caribbean.”
“I won’t be able to tell my wife,” I said. “She loves Jamaica.MoreLess

I love every book about Alex Cross. They are all wonderful, but so are all the books I have read by James Patterson. I am 75 & have been an avid reader since the days I started reading Nancy Drew Mysteries. To this date, I haven't found an author I like more. Thank you James Patterson for such wonderful novels.Write Review:
