Synopsis
The discovery of a bricked-up skeleton in a partially demolished brownstone is a scenario straight out of Edgar Allan Poe. What makes the find more amazing is the fact that the building is actually one of Poe's former residences. Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper pursues the connections from the skeleton to the 19th-century writer, and to the resurgence of a long-dormant perpetrator, the Silk Stocking Rapist, who has now begun murdering his victims. This is the seventh novel in a series.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "I looked at the pool of dried blood that covered the third-floor landing of a brownstone on one of the safest residential blocks in Manhattan and wondered how the young woman who'd been left here to die yesterday, her chest pierced by a steak knife, could still be alive this afternoon."
Industry Reviews
"...[Fairstein's] best outing since Alex's strong debut in FINAL JEOPARDY."
Kirkus (10/01/2004)
"[Fairstein's] methodical presentation of authentic detail engages reader interest more than narrative flourish or cheap thrills. She's the real deal."
