Fairstein, Linda

Fairstein (Death Angel) turns out another solid thriller, although fans of the series may wish for a little more insight into Alex and her life when she is "off the clock."

Recommended for all crime thriller fans and patrons, especially those who are fascinated by Central Park and its environs.

A solid mystery read well by the formidable Barbara Rosenblat, this is recommended for large mystery collections. ["Fairstein's extensive prosecutorial experience adds authenticity to this thrilling procedural, a tasty soufflé of escargots, Beaujolais, cocaine, and murder that will entice the author's many fans," read the review of the Dutton hc, LJ 6/1/12.—Ed.]

The 13th entry in Fairstein's series is a tightly wound mystery that delivers an adrenaline rush with its fast-paced, nail-biting manhunt across several states. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 10/1/10.]
