BOOK DESCRIPTION:
One of the special pleasures of this lively series,
written by a veteran sex-crimes investigator for the Manhattan district
attorney's office, is the unusual glimpse it gives readers into corners of
New York no tourist and few residents ever see (The Deadhouse). Here she
turns her attention to the city's major cultural edifices--the Metropolitan
Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and the Cloisters--and takes us
behind their sealed doors to investigate the murder of a museum curator
whose mummified body turns up in an ancient sarcophagus just before it's
shipped out of the country. Together with her partners, cops Mike Chapman
and Mercer Wallace, assistant DA Alexandra Cooper retraces Katrina Grooten's
steps from her native South Africa to the discovery of her remains on a New
Jersey pier. Along the way, the mysteries of the ancient world get equal
billing with the more contemporary whodunit, and Cooper and her pals get a
firsthand look at the murderous New York art world, too. Fairstein's
thrillers offer an in-depth tour of truly off-the-beaten-path Manhattan as
well as solid plotting, well-drawn characters, and snappy dialogue. What the
DA's office lost when the author retired to write full-time is the mystery
fan's biggest gain! -
Fairstein's 25-year stint as head of the Sex Crimes Unit in the Manhattan
DA's office once again makes for an authoritative and fact-filled mystery
(her fifth after The Deadhouse) featuring alter-ego assistant DA Alexandra
Cooper. "Coop" is an attractive workaholic in her 30s, ambivalent about her
current relationship with an always-on-the-road NBC correspondent. While
she's attending a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, new Met
director Pierre Thibodaux pulls her aside and asks for help with a recent
crisis: a customs security dog found that a Met sarcophagus ready for
shipment back to Cairo contained the corpse of a young female researcher
from the Cloisters, the Met's medieval branch. Coop calls her usual NYPD
sidekick detectives, brash Mike Chapman and burly Mercer Wallace, and the
trio sets out to search among the museum's bookish staff and rich
benefactors for a killer with a motive.
