Summary:
From New York Times bestselling author and former top prosecutor Linda Fairstein comes an electrifying thriller wealthy with the riveting behind-the-scenes authenticity that only she can provide.
It’s likely to be a tough trial. Manhattan sex-crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper’s case, concerning an attack on purchase banker Paige Vallis, would be challenging to prove actually without the most recent development-it appears that Paige provides something to cover.
Most of her tale is crystal clear. She’d had dinner with New about The Kills York advisor Andrew Tripping three times prior to the March evening when she recognized his invitation to accompany him to his apartment. But what occurred that night time? Why didn’t she leave the house when he started to work strangely? What about Tripping’s little boy, Dulles? What happened to the child that fateful evening? And who’s the strange man whose appearance in the courtroom seems to terrify Paige?
While Alex’s police detective friend Mercer Wallace assists her find out more of the sad details behind the increasingly puzzling rape case, colleague Mike Chapman is uptown in a decaying Harlem brownstone where eighty-two-year-old McQueen Ransome continues to be murdered, her apartment ransacked.
What could this impoverished, elderly woman have possessed that could have inspired such assault? Photographs over the wall claim that “Queenie” was once a lovely and voluptuous young woman who traveled to faraway areas. Could there be considered a hint to her murder in her unique background?
Her murder will be just the 1st. Others follow, as the tragic strands from the Paige Vallis and McQueen Ransome cases begin to converge within a poignant alliance of two females from completely different worlds.
Faced with formidable personal and professional choices, Alex must learn the outdated lesson that appearances can deceive, even as she heads for the showdown in which her wits and her courage is going to be examined as never before.
