DEADFALL by Linda Fairstein is a thriller suspense novel
that picks up where the last book left off in the Alexandra Cooper book
series. The District Attorney had been murdered, and Alex
witnessed the entire thing. Being a witness to such a
horrific event has severe effects on her already fragile
mental health and state of mind. Even though the
investigation has just begun, Alex cannot stop herself from
being involved in every part. She has the support of Mike
and Mercer while they all look at different possible
suspects, all of which could have wanted the DA dead.
Fairstein has a creative way of writing that incorporates
parts of New York and the history of many landmarks in New
York into the plot line and setting. I feel I always learn
something new about the city after reading one of the books
in this series. I like how the characters have developed not
only throughout this series but this book as well. I feel
that this book can be read as a standalone even though it is
a part of a series but you may get a little confused because
a lot of the characters backstories and development lead up
to this book. After reading DEADFALL, I want to go back to
the first book and reread the rest of the books in the
Alexandra Cooper Book Series.
Fairstein makes the story feel so real and describes the
settings (places) so vividly that you feel as if you are in
the middle of the investigation working right beside her. I
feel that this book does not disappoint any fans of this
book series, but I do feel DEADFALL makes it seem as if the
series may be coming to an end. I feel that this book kind
of leaves you with the feeling that the end is near as you
get closer to the conclusion of DEADFALL.
Hunting a killer within New York's urban jungle
becomes the biggest case of Alexandra Cooper's career in
New York Times bestselling author Linda Fairstein's
latest riveting thriller.
A wild heart beats
within New York City. Amid concrete and skyscrapers, the
Wildlife Conservation Society works to preserve and protect
the animal kingdom both within and beyond the borders of the
five boroughs. But dangerous creatures don't always have
claws and fangs, as Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper and NYPD
detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace know all too
well. Predators lurk close to home, and in the aftermath of
the shocking assassination of an iconic public
figure—someone Alex has worked with for years—the trio must
unravel the motive behind the shooting to discover who is
the bigger snake: the killer or the victim.
The
murder investigation provides more questions than answers,
as a tangled mess of secrets slowly comes to light. From
street gangs to secret societies, from big-game hunting to
the illegal animal trade, from New York City zoos to the
highest offices in city government, Alex has her work cut
out for her—especially since the task force handling the
investigation, led by the US Attorney, seems to be more
against her than with her. As tensions rise between Alex and
the feds, she must determine just how far she is willing to
go to uncover the truth—and uphold the integrity of the
office she has so proudly served.
Deadfall
proves once again why Linda Fairstein is hailed as "a
champion teller of detective tales" (USA Today).
