Description
The
real-life work of sex-crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein brought
"riveting authenticity" (Vanity Fair) to her
bestselling debut novel, Final Jeopardy.
Now
Fairstein's fictional counterpart -- smart and savvy assistant
D.A. Alexandra Cooper -- returns in "[a] Grisham-esque page
turner" (Time) that puts Alex in the line of fire.
New York City's oldest and largest
medical center is the scene of a ghastly attack: top
neurosurgeon Gemma Dogen is found in her blood-soaked office,
where she has been sexually assaulted, stabbed, and designated
by the cops as a "likely to die."
By the time Alex has plunged into
the case, it's a high-profile, media-infested murder
investigation with a growing list of suspects from among those
who roam the hospital's labyrinthine halls.
As Alex's passion to find the killer
intensifies, she discovers this hospital is not a place of
healing but of deadly peril -- and that she is the next target
for lethal violence.
A high-style thriller that sweeps
from Manhattan to London to Martha's Vineyard, Likely to Die
is an exhilarating tale from a justice system insider and
provocative novelist.
