Thriller
A Beautiful Woman, Missing
New York City, 2005. Thanksgiving weekend. A topless Kate
Moss peers down from a billboard over rain-spattered Houston
Street. Escaping a troubled past, Francesca Pena came to the
city and reinvented herself. At New York University, her
beauty and charisma are the envy of her privileged pals, yet
none knows the real Francesca—who, after a night of
drinking, is now missing.
A High-Stakes Gamble
Detective Darlene O'Hara of the Seventh Precinct and her
partner, Serge "K." Krekorian, set out to find Pena. But
when the case turns high-profile and Homicide is called in,
O'Hara—who has an eighteen-year-old son she saddled with the
name Axl Rose O'Hara, and whose binge drinking exacerbates
the massive chip on her shoulder—refuses to let go. Risking
both her and K.'s careers, she defies NYPD brass and
Homicide legend Patrick Lowry to secretly pursue her own
investigation.
A Desperate Chase—and a Chilling Twist
Following a deadly trail that leads from NYU's ivory
towers to Brooklyn tattoo parlors, from a skanky strip club
to a whitewashed boutique run by a Korean madam, O'Hara
closes in on her prey. But she has to move fast, because
Lowry and the NYPD are about to make a devastating mistake
that will leave the real killer free.
