Four Blind Mice (Alex Cross)

On the verge of resigning from the D.C. police force, Detective Alex Cross knows he can't refuse this case. His partner John Sampson has a friend who has been framed for murder and is facing the gas chamber. His accusers? The United States Army. As a new woman in Cross's life brings him hope in the face of a devastating loss at home, Cross and Sampson go up against codes of honor and silence and three ruthless killers. But a bigger threat lies in wait: Their controller, a lethal genius who will introduce Cross to new depths of terror . . the last of the FOUR BLIND MICE. (2002)

In this latest thriller from perennial bestselling author James Patterson, Washington cop Alex Cross gets involved in his partner's effort to save the life of an old Army buddy who's facing execution for a horrendous and inexplicable murder spree in North Carolina. The Army's evidence against Sergeant Ellis Cooper, a decorated Vietnam vet, is overwhelming, which isn't surprising since it's all been planted by a quartet of killers whose reason for framing the erstwhile hero isn't revealed until long after they are. The big secret is who set the murderers loose, and in true cliffhanger fashion, Patterson keeps it under wraps until the very end. Meanwhile, his usual blend of action, violence, fast pacing and uninspired-though-serviceable prose prevail, and will probably do so all the way to the top of the bestseller lists. --Jane Adams

Ez 47:1-9, 12 The angel brought me, Ezekiel back to the entrance of the temple of the LORD, and I saw water flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the facade of the temple was toward the east; the water flowed down from the right side of the temple, south of the altar. He led me outside by the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from the right side. Then when he had walked off to the east with a measuring cord in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and had me wade through the water which was ankle-deep He measured off another thousand and once more had me wade through the water which was now knee-deep Again he measured off a thousand and had me wade the water was up to my waist. Once more he measured off a thousand, but there was now a river through which I could not wade for the water had risen so high it had become a river that could not be crossed except by swimming. He asked me, “Have you seen this, son of man?” Then he brought me to the bank of the river, where he had me sit Along the bank of the river I saw very many

Once more he measured off a thousand, but there was now a river through which I could not wade for the water had risen so high it had become a river that could not be crossed except by swimming. He asked me, “Have you seen this, son of man?” Then he brought me to the bank of the river, where he had me sit Along the bank of the river I saw very many trees on both sides He said to me,“This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh. Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh. Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind shall grow their leaves shall not fade, nor their fruit fail. Every month they shall bear fresh fruit, for they shall be watered by the flow from the sanctuary Their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for medicine.”

John 5.1-16
"There was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep Gate a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him,“Do you want to be well?” The sick man answered him,“Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your mat, and walk.” Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked Now that day was a sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who was cured,“It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.” He answered them, “The man who made me well told me,‘Take up your mat and walk.’“ They asked him,“Who is the man who told you, ‘Take it up and walk’?” The man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd there. After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him,“Look, you are well; do not sin any more, so that nothing worse may happen to you.” The man went and told the Jews that Jesus was the one who had made him well Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because he did this on a sabbath.

Ez 37:12-14 Thus says the Lord GOD: O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and have you rise from them, O my people! I will put my spirit in you that you may live and I will settle you upon your land; thus you shall know that I am the LORD. I have promised, and I will do it, says the LORD.

John 11 "Now a man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and dried his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was ill. So the sisters sent word to him saying,“Master, the one you love is ill.” hen Jesus heard this he said“This illness is not to end in death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus So when he heard that he was ill, he remained for two days in the place where he was Then after this he said to his disciples“Let us go back to Judea.” The disciples said to him,“Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and you want to go back there?” Jesus answered,“Are there not twelve hours in a day? If one walks during the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if one walks at night, he stumbles because the light is not in him.” He said this, and then told them,“Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to awaken him.” So the disciples said to him,“Master, if he is asleep, he will be saved.” But Jesus was talking about his death, while they thought that he meant ordinary sleep So then Jesus said to them clearly,“Lazarus has died And I am glad for you that I was not there, that you may believe. Let us go to him.” So Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples“Let us also go to die with him.” When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Jesus said to her,“Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and said“Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me; but because of the crowd here I have said this, that they may believe that you sent me.” And when he had said this, He cried out in a loud voice“Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth So Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.” Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what he had done began to believe in him.

About Final Approach
In the late 1980s, a weathered guide hunkered down in a hand-dug coffin pit in the far out fields of eastern Washington. Exposed to the elements and extremely uncomfortable--as grit and dirt rolled down the collar of his shirt only to settle in the small of his back--the guide was struck with a thought that's familiar to entrepreneurs everywhere: "There has to be a better way." Three sleepless weeks later, Ron Latschaw released the Slider, a layout blind for hunting geese. Born from Latschaw's original invention, Final Approach has been offering the hunting market's most effective and durable waterfowling layout blinds and accessories since 1993. Final Approach has a simple philosophy: develop a premium brand by brining to market honest, hardworking, no-nonsense gear that lasts. By waterfowlers for waterfowlers, Final Approach is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas.
