Description
Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cooper’s French getaway is shattered when a young village woman is found murdered, with a matchbox linked to her restaurateur boyfriend’s new New York establishment discovered at the scene. Recalled to Manhattan for the explosive prosecution of a powerful international financier accused of assaulting a hotel maid, Alex must navigate a case drawing intense global scrutiny while another body bearing the same clue turns up in Brooklyn. As the investigation reaches into the hidden lives of the city’s elite, she confronts a dangerous web of privilege, scandal, and violence that threatens both her career and the people closest to her. Drawing on Linda Fairstein’s prosecutorial experience, this atmospheric legal thriller combines authentic courtroom tension with an international murder mystery and sharp insight into power, wealth, and justice.
