This critically acclaimed, explosive thriller is a book only prosecutor
Linda Fairstein could write. Patricia Cornwall knows the morgue; John
Grisham knows the courtroom; but no one knows the inner workings of the
D.A.'s office like Linda Fairstein, renowned for two decades as head of
Manhattan Sex Crimes Unit. Now that world comes vividly to life in a
brilliant debut novel of shocking realism, powerful insight, and searing
suspense.
Alexandra Cooper, Manhattan's top sex crimes prosecutor, awakens one
morning to shoking news: a tabloid headline announcing her own brutal
murder. But the actual victim was Isabella Lascar, the Hollywood film
star who sought refuge at Alex's Martha's Vineyard retreat. Was Isabella
targeted by a stalker or-- mistaken for Alex-- was she in the wrong
place at the wrong time? In an investigation that twists from the back
alleys of lower Manhattan to the chic salons of the Upper East Side.
Alex knows she's in final jeopardy... and time is running out. She has
to get into the killer's head before the killer gets to her.
