Alex Cross is on the verge of retiring from the FBI when a friend asks him to investigate a conviction — three soldiers executed for a murder they may not have committed. The real killer appears to be inside the military. Four Blind Mice is the eighth Alex Cross novel — one of the series' most unusual; the military-justice world is the setting.
