Synopsis

From former sex-crimes prosecutor and bestselling author Linda Fairstein, this gripping legal and medical thriller follows Manhattan prosecutor Alexandra Cooper as she investigates a brutal hospital attack that exposes a deadly web of secrets—and puts her directly in the killer’s sights.

From former sex-crimes prosecutor and bestselling author Linda Fairstein, this riveting installment in the Alexandra Cooper series delivers authentic courtroom drama, forensic detail, and high-stakes suspense.

When a renowned neurosurgeon is found viciously assaulted and near death inside one of New York City’s most prestigious hospitals, Assistant D.A. Alex Cooper is called in to lead the case. What begins as a shocking crime quickly escalates into a high-profile investigation under intense media scrutiny.

As Alex navigates a maze of suspects—from elite doctors to hospital insiders—she uncovers a disturbing pattern of corruption and violence hidden within the institution’s walls. But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the case becomes—and soon, Alex herself becomes a target.

Sweeping from Manhattan to London to Martha’s Vineyard, this fast-paced crime thriller blends courtroom suspense, forensic investigation, and psychological tension into a compelling, edge-of-your-seat read.
