Alex Cross's Trial Chapter 80

Chapter 80

Someone asks if they should bury him, and Ben notes that Jewish people are supposed to be buried before sundown on the day they die.
People scoff—it figures he'd know that about Jewish people—and it's decided that Eli's body will be left on the ground.
Everyone starts packing up and heading home.
Jacob tries to reason with Ben. He's all, See? We don't hate Black people. We don't want anyone taking our jobs or land—we're so reasonable.
Ben can't believe what he's hearing, though, and is so angry that he walks away and doesn't even get his stuff from Jacob's house.
