Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Linda Fairstein is at her explosive best as she plunges into the byzantine world of New York City's most powerful and sacred institutions--and unearths the most sinister of secrets...

Prosecutor Alexandra Cooper has been called to a Harlem Baptist Church, where a woman has been decapitated and set on fire on the church steps--with the imprint of a Star of David necklace seared into her flesh. Then a second body is found at a cathedral in Little Italy. Alex is blind to the sick and inconceivable motives feeding a particularly vicious serial killer--until she mines the depths of the city's vast and serpentine religious history.

What Alex follows is a dangerous path that takes her far beyond the scope of her investigation, and directly into the path of a frightening and inescapable truth.

About this title

Review:

"Gripping...Each outing with Alex brings a new view of this character and the city in which she lives." -- Sun Sentinel

"Linda Fairstein has delivered another compelling crime novel set on the all-too-real streets of New York...a worthwhile read that fans of the Law & Order TV series will savor. After finishing Silent Mercy, readers will eagerly seek out her other novels."

-- San Francisco Chronicle

"Fairstein excels at describing New York's complicated religious history as well as the vagaries of the city's legal and religious politics." -- Publishers Weekly

Book Description:

Sex crimes, torture, hate - it's got Alex Cooper written all over it.
