Mystery Woman Sleuth | Thriller | Suspense
Bad Blood
finds Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper deeply involved in a
complicated,
high-profile homicide case. Defendant Brendan Quillian, a
prominent
young businessman, is charged with the brutal strangulation
of his
beautiful young wife, Amanda. His conviction is not a certainty:
Quillian was conveniently out of town on the day of the
killing, and he
has hired a formidable defense attorney who seems one step
ahead of
Cooper as the trial opens. But with the help of detectives
Mike Chapman
and Mercer Wallace, she is confident she can prove Quillian
paid a hit
man to commit the crime. Halfway through the trial,
a major
catastrophe alters the course of Alex's case. A cataclysmic
ex-plosion
rips through New York City's Water Tunnel #3, a spectacular
feat of
modern engineering that will be completed years in the
future. Carved
through bedrock six hundred feet underground, the tunnel
will replace a
vital artery in the city's rapidly deteriorating water
supply system.
Was the blast caused by terrorism? Political retribution? Or
was it
merely an accident? Cooper is quickly drawn into the
trag-edy when she
discovers a strange connection linking Brendan Quillian to
the tunnel
workers killed in the explosion. At the same
time, Alex
meets a mysterious, handsome stranger. Should she get to
know him
better? Before the answer is clear, she is pulled back into
the case,
which is becoming more dangerous by the hour. She and
Chapman descend
deep into the earth to penetrate the subterranean universe
of the
sandhogs, as the brotherhood of tunnel workers are
colorfully known.
Their probe soon leads to another murder victim, whose blood
may hold
the key to Cooper's mesmerizingly complex case. One closely
held secret
reveals another, and soon Alex discovers that only by unraveling
ancient rivalries among sandhog families will she be able to
solve the
murder of Amanda Quillian -- and save her own life as
well. A riveting tale of up-to-the-minute urban
intrigue, Bad Blood
is rich with New York City lore and fascinating legal
insights that
only Fairstein, Manhattan's former sex crimes prosecutor,
can deliver.
Told in her signature authentic style, Bad Blood is
packed with the same twists and turns that made her last
novel, Death Dance, a runaway bestseller and that
never fail to thrill her legions of devoted
readers.
