Book Review: Southern Cross by Patricia Cornwell (Andy Brazil 2)

Virginia's police department has escalating crime statistics and Judy Hammer, Deputy Chief Virginia West as well as Andy Brazil the police officer are all tasked with reversing the trend. There are the usual crimes including cash dispenser robberies, teenage gangs, drug dealing on the streets, racial tension and a lot of guns in the area.

A computer virus attacks the police department computers, freezing the screens and a blue fish design comes on the screens and this symbol also appears on a statue too. This symbol leads the police to a gang and a series of robberies.

I much prefer the Scarpetta novels and even those are bit hit and miss (some good some not so good), but this is not a very good book or series.

5/10 for me.
