Alex Cross's Trial Chapter 81 Summary

  • Ben sneaks into his dad's guesthouse. It's around the back of the regular house, where he figures he won't be seen.
  • Inside, he finds memorabilia from his childhood.
  • A sign welcoming him home from the war is on the wall, covered in dust; his old two-seater buggy and his catcher's mitt are there, too.
  • All of a sudden, Ben breaks down in tears.
  • He realizes that he's finally at home and it's heartbreaking.
