But the Southern Cross windmills serve as a monument to the early pioneering days, to the hardships, to the ingenuity of the pioneers, and not least of all, to the establishment of 'Southern Cross Machinery' as a producer and supplier of quality agricultural products.

Now, in Patricia Cornwell's Southern Cross, the trio are dispatched to Richmond, Virginia--via an NIJ (National Institute of Justice) grant--to quell the growing gang problem and modernize the beleaguered Richmond PD. They bring with them a sophisticated computer program for tracking criminal activity and a tried-and-true methodology for reforming Richmond's men and women in blue.
