This "chilling" (USA TODAY) New York Times bestseller from
Manhattan sex-crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein sends Assistant D.A.
Alexandra Cooper on a harrowing investigation deep inside New York
City's most magnificent and mysterious museums.
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exquisite Temple of Dendur, a
monument to an ancient world, a very modern debate is raging at a gala
dinner: a controversial new exhibit is fiercely opposed by many among
the upper echelon of museum donors. Alex Cooper steps into this highly
charged ring of power players only to make a much more troubling
discovery: a young museum researcher has been murdered, her body shipped
to the Met in an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus. Together with cops Mike
Chapman and Mercer Wallace, Alex must penetrate the realm of the city's
cultural elite to find a killer intent on keeping some secrets buried
for eternity.
