Quick recap

Alex Cross writes down a family story for his kids, one Nana Mama used to tell. Around 1900, Washington lawyer Ben Corbett takes the city's toughest cases. President Theodore Roosevelt asks him to look into a Ku Klux Klan revival in his hometown of Eudora, Mississippi. There Ben meets Abraham Cross, Alex's ancestor, and his granddaughter Moody, who show him the violence under the town's calm surface. Ben sets out to stop the terror and learns the person behind it is someone whose identity will hurt him. How the trial ends wasn't checked against a reliable source, so it stays out.
