Synopsis
It's going to be a tough trial. Manhattan sex-crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper's case, involving an attack on investment banker Paige Vallis, would be difficult to prove even without the latest development - it seems that Paige has something to hide.
Most of her story is clear. She'd had dinner with New York consultant Andrew Tripping three times before the March evening when she accepted his invitation to accompany him to his apartment. But what occurred that night? Why didn't she leave the apartment when he started to act strangely? What about Tripping's little boy, Dulles? What happened to the child that fateful evening? And who is the strange man whose appearance in the courtroom seems to terrify Paige?
While Alex's police detective friend Mercer Wallace helps her learn more of the sad details behind the increasingly puzzling rape case, colleague Mike Chapman is uptown in a decaying Harlem brownstone where eighty-two-year-old McQueen Ransome has been murdered, her apartment ransacked.
What could this impoverished, elderly woman have possessed that could have inspired such violence? Photographs on the wall suggest that "Queenie" was once a beautiful and voluptuous young woman who traveled to faraway places. Could there be a clue to her murder in her exotic background?
Her murder will be only the first. Others follow, as the tragic strands of the Paige Vallis and McQueen Ransome cases begin to converge in a poignant alliance of two women from very different worlds.

Review
Author Fairstein's done it again! The Kills is a roller coaster ride that delivers everything--breathtaking suspense in courtrooms and on mean streets, hidden treasure, rich history and compellingly real characters. A great book! (Jeffery Deaver)
Fairstein has the expertise and the experience, and it shows. THE KILLS is a white-knuckle ride through the back roads of history, the sidestreets of New York, and the chilling world of unbounded greed. (Kathy Reichs)
What separates THE KILLS from the pack is her keen eye for authenticity. She smoothly blends her vast courtroom & police procedural knowledge with flat-out great storytelling & poignant insights into the history of the city she clearly loves. (Harlan Coben)
