It should have been good news in 1997 when Kiss the Girls - the second Patterson novel featuring Cross - hit the screen. ![]() But Cross is the real deal, a character who matters. Don’t do it again, do you hear me, Patterson? I know my Cross habit is indefensible - Patterson writes plots to plow through, not to savor. Sometimes Patterson writes books, like the current 1st to Die, in which Cross does not appear. Cross is the protagonist in several Patterson best sellers, including Kiss the Girls, Pop Goes the Weasel and Roses Are Red. The character created by author James Patterson in the 1992 suspense novel Along Came a Spider is an African-American homicide detective, with a doctorate in psychology, who works and lives in the ghettos of Washington, D.C., where he chases the kinkiest collection of serial killers in modern crime fiction. ![]()
